  • Free Lunches and Networking

    Those who are convinced that I attend all these meetings around town for the free food will have to rethink things now that I am on this high metabolism diet with my spousal unit. I brought my own trail mix to the round table and availed myself of the salad and water, but that would…

  • Notes and Ideas

    A mental note isn’t worth the paper it is written on. You can make mental notes all day long, but they lack the safety features of paper and digital notes. For one thing, you lose them. They exist, but they are floating out there is a closet of cerebral clutter and are only retrieved when…

  • New Mangosteen Site

    I have set up a new site affiliation for information about the health benefits of mangosteen. There are also some significant business possibilities. Here is the site. It speaks for itself: TOMSIMSMANGOSTEEN.COM I am extremely busy with ministry, writing, and consulting and have not focused on this as a business. However, I believe strongly in…

  • Seven Tenths of a Pound

    When I joined George Brown Sports Club on Wednesday, the general manager told me that January is the busiest month in the fitness industry. More gym memberships are sold and attendance at the clubs is higher. That is spelled, "r-e-s-o-l-u-t-i-o-n-s." It may work for me. I haven’t exercised since September of 2004 when iI broke…

  • My New Hero

    I just heard the interview with Raff Esquith on NPR. I must say that he has made my heroes list. I’ll let the interview, excerpt, and book speak for themselves, but i am truly impressed by the energy, commitment, creativity, and thinking of this master teacher.

  • Answer Bag

    I have stepped out of most of my roles lately to participate in an interactive site called, Answerbag. There are a variety of characters there conversing on any number of subjects. Questions are asked, answered, and rated. It is another example of a thriving online community. It is also an example of a business success…

  • People Meeting People

    We had two new outstanding members in Toastmaster’s. It made me think about networking and where we network. Both of them were able to present a pithy introducion of who they were, why they had come, and what they were about in terms of mission and goals. We can network anywhere and at any time.…

  • Confidence and Tentative Experimentation

    I am revising my book on confidence from insights in the book of Philippians to incorporate stories from my fictional town in the deep Sierra Nevada. One of the goals is to integrate propositional teaching into a narrative format, essentially, building a bridge between modernism and post-modernism to communicate timeless truth. Let’s see how it…

  • Savings at Office Depot

    I just wanted to pass on this certificate that is good for Janauary to all my readers: I have used these coupons in the past and they really work. Besides helping you, they will assist in our work on and off line.

  • Fund Raising Idea

    Of all the online fundraisers I have helped organizations set up, this is THE ONE that consistently sends out checks: It is a do-it-yourself process, but if you need help, give me a call or drop me an e-mail. It is easy and it is profiable for any size organization.
