What Unemployed Men Need

// June 29th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // Business, Career, Personal, Relationships

Recently a good friend of my wife and I came home to her husband (who is also my hunting buddy) laid off from his job. Others provided the typical responses of shock and disdain for the former employer I am sure. Having been laid off three times in my short technology career of 13 years, I provided some really straight talk to her about what her husband needed. I guess it was helpful or something because she shared it with others and they seemed to like it too. In case it is useful (and I hope it never has to be), here is what unemployed men need in my humble opinion:

Grandmother 2.0

(Mom, I know you are reading this, but I just had to blog this.)

So while laying in the bath (don’t picture it) catching up on my email on my iPhone this morning I get this from my Skype-friendly mother:

>> I noticed that your location on Twitter is still Frisco. I enjoy
>> reading it. Did you get the email from Facebook about adding me?

To which I responded to my mom:

Settling In In West Palm Beach, Florida

// September 13th, 2007 // 2 Comments » // Career, Christianity, Family, Leadership, Learning, Personal, Relationships

West Palm Beach, Florida is a fantastic place to begin my next phase in ministry. Settling in at this church has been easy, and the staff has been more than welcoming. For me, as expected, it has been easy. Ashley on the other hand has had to deal with keeping the kids for long periods of time with little relief as I spend long hours meeting everyone, putting out some fires, and finishing up a 6 month launch of LifeFaithFusion.com For her so far, it has been what she feared. That will change.

We Crossed the Florida State Line

// September 2nd, 2007 // 3 Comments » // Career, Family, Relationships, Travel

After three days of travel, we crossed the Florida line on Friday and stayed in Pensacola Florida in a Howard Johnson Express Inn. Let me say, when they say 2 stars on Hotwire.com, they mean it. Don’t fall for the $57 special. While the room was clean, the area and parking lot were really rough. Some guns were left in the car with the things we didn’t unpack and some where in the room with us, that is all I am saying.

A New Job and Neighborhood

Word is starting to get out a bit that I have resigned my position with Stonebriar Community Church this week and accepted a position with the 30th largest church in the US. We wanted to let all of you know this as early in the process as possible, but also had some details to work out before I could make things official. I have been away from consistent blogging for awhile so that I could get this life decision made.
