During the summer, [...]

The Tin Man and His Heart
Posted in Excellence, Heart on September 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I am relistening to one of my all time favorite books on my iPod as I run…Waking the Dead by John Eldridge. Have you read it? This book followed another classic by Eldridge called Wild at Heart. I highly recommend both books if you are looking to really reconnect with your life, to get out [...]
Heart Matters

Do you ever have a topic or an idea that just seems to surround you all at once? That has happened to me recently on the subject of HEART. Last Friday, Todd Simmons, COO of Simmons Foods, spoke at our Eight-to-Five Unplugged event in Fayetteville on working with your head, your hands, and your heart. [...]
Temptation?

“I wonder if I should omit that piece of information?” he thought. “It might help me sell this deal, and man do we need the money.” Integrity is one of our Seven Pillars of Faith and Work. Never in recent history will we be as tempted to bend the rules as we are right now! [...]
Walking on Eggshells

One final word on Encouragement as we wrap up our focus on “National Encouragement Week”. Do you know someone going through something tragic? Maybe a job loss? A marriage crisis? Overcoming an addiction? Even a death? What do you say to that friend or co-worker? Are you afraid to bring it up? So, you just walk [...]
Step Up and Speak Up

You have been there. Probably more times than you would like to think. Feeling that you are just working day in, day out and no one really cares about you. Just get the work done. All that really matters is the almighty dollar. Did you close the deal? Is the project going to pay for itself? Run [...]
Rivers of Encouragement

“A river reaches places which its source never knows.” That, is a powerful statement from Oswald Chambers’ classic book “My Utmost For His Highest”. Marry that thought with these words from Jesus. “Whoever believes in me…streams of living water will flow from within him.” This past weekend, my 9 year old son Tyler [...]
National Encouragement Week (N.E.W.)
Posted in Encouragement, Influence on September 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
You know someone, don’t you? Someone whose work, or lack thereof, has them in a very difficult place. Maybe it’s you. Maybe it’s a close friend. Or maybe it’s simply an acquaintance or co-worker. These are serious, serious economic times we are living through. Everywhere I look, people’s lives are being impacted. Some people are [...]

Old School Integrity
Posted in Integrity on September 3, 2008 | 6 Comments »
I went to a funeral today. A parade of people stepped up to the microphone and painted a beautiful picture of a man that did it right. His story sounded almost fictional. A high school student council president, National Honor Society member, all-State and all-American in football. A three-year letterman for the Arkansas Razorbacks football [...]
