Short Business Lesson on new CEOs

There is a company with a long, proud history of being one of the best brands on the market.  This company has been in business for over 200 years and is one of the best in the world.  Yes, it's had its share of ups and downs but overall is the cream of the crop.  However, the company's CEO is stepping aside to pursue other goals. 

In order to keep things flowing smoothly, the board of directors meet and begin searching for a new CEO.  They spend months and months reviewing resumes and searching for the best candidate.  Finally, the majority agrees on the choice and their selection is made.  They have chosen a CEO different from ones they've had previously, who has some flaws in his past, and his own way of doing things.  However, he does have a successful business background.  After his selection, he begins to get more familiar with the company and prepares for his first day of work. 

He shows up on Monday morning, like many of us starting a new job, excited and raring to go!  He steps into his office and all of a sudden some employees begin to run amuck.  They threaten violence, stop working, and begin destroying company property.  They are blaming it all on the new CEO, saying that he will make things terrible, that he hates them, that he doesn't know what he's doing.  But it's the guy's first day on the job, he hasn't even gotten the seat of his chair warm yet.  Does this story sound fair to you?  Not to me.  But sadly it sounds familiar....#InaugurationDay

I wasn't fond of Barack Obama.  My opinion of him is largely based on his anti-Christian views.  As a Christian, you do not accept other religions.  You accept the people and you witness, but you cannot say that a false belief is okay and stand idly by as people go to hell. 

I'm not a super fan of Donald Trump either.  He excites me from a business and political correctness perspective, but I do have concerns with his temperament and relations with foreign countries.  Overall, I do believe that it is time for America to get our house in order and that seems to be Trump's plan.  I guess we will just all wait and see how that goes.

In closing, no supervisor, no CEO, no president can save you or this country.  Our main problem in America and the world is sin, and there's only one person who ever came to earth with the solution to that.

2020 is Hindsight...Finally!

Wow, what a year! 2020 could literally be an entire decade, maybe more, of history, change, and lessons rolled up into these twelve months. While many aspects of 2020 were kind of sucky and we would like to forget them, it will certainly be a year to remember. And it will be enlightening when this year is looked back on in 10, 25, or 50 years to be discussed. I wonder if we'll seem like geniuses or idiots? Probably both to some extent! While there is so much that I could consider and analyze about this year, I'll try to break some of it down into four dimensions - Physical, Spiritual, Mental, and Social/Emotional. These are events and happenings from my world and perspective and I'm trying to be open in sharing and would love to hear from others on events you found most transforming. Physical When COVID cause gyms to close, that messed me up. Our town and state were late to be hit with severe cases and therefore later than many across the country to close up shop. I'm n

2020 Books

  I mentioned previously on Facebook that I'd share the books I've read in 2020 in case anyone is looking for a new read. Plus I figure this post can serve as one for friends to share some that they've enjoyed this past year as well. How to Win Friends and Influence People - Andrew Carnegie. This is a good book about personal development, relationships, etc. Vertical Marriage - Dave & Ann Wilson. Based on the title, obviously this was a book on marriages. While you'll see a few others on this list, this one was one of my favorites. How to Get Promoted - Anthony Park. Sorry boss! The worst part is I read this AFTER my annual review lol. It is good for people just getting their career started or working in larger corporations where you can get lost in the shuffle. The Power of Positive Thinking - Norman Vincent Peale. Great book on personal development. Leadership in Turbulent Times - Doris Kearns Goodwin. This book chronicles the life of 4 presidents, Lincol

First Blog

It's hard to decide what you want to write in your first blog since first impressions are so important.  So I figured I would start with the main reason the Brittnee and I decided to start a blog (if the name hasn't given it away) and that is the upcoming birth of our first child.  The sex hasn't been determined yet so for now it is referred to as ThomAva, a combination of the names we have selected.  So far so good with everything though as our little one gave us a thumbs up at our last ultra sound. She has also convinced me to buy a nice (female code word for expensive) camera so I'm sure there will be many more higher quality photos to come.   I always said that my, Kat's, and Jordan's childhood could have been a reality show before reality shows were cool so I look forward to using this blog to share and remember both new and old family stories.  And to hopefully share with others the blessings that God has given me over the years and as a way to wit
