I Make People Lazy

I’ve realized nearly everything I do is to help people become lazier. CSDI gives people stage designs and shows them how to do it. They don’t have to do their own research, they just get to build. Lazy. Mopho.to makes it easy for people to get blog photos. They don’t have to take their own…

I Bought White Plates!

I bought white plates! I’m so excited! I’ve been wanting white plates for the longest time. My old dishes were fine… I frankly got lots of compliments on them… But they made my food look dull. They took the attention away from what I was cooking. You see, I love to make beautiful meals. I love…

When a Herd of Bulls Chases You Down

I was twelve and living on a ranch. Ya, it was a weird time in my life. One day after school I was walking in a fenced-in field with a friend. We were chatting and enjoying the beautiful day. That was, until we noticed five bulls heading in our direction. The bulls began walking faster.…

I wrote a short e-book that sold 500 copies in less than two months. And no,…

Am I Helping People Less?

In January, I wrote about my new goal for the year. I plan to do less, and to get more results from doing less. That means I’ll be refining everything I do until I’m only doing the things that are most effective for me. I’m stopping a lot of things. But does that mean I…

3 Things Lakewood Church Does Right

My wife gave me a brilliant idea. She suggested, each time I visit a church, I share on my blog three things the church did right. I always look for these sorts of things when I visit a church, so it was a great suggestion. I don’t visit churches nearly as often as I’d like.…

How to Be a Coffee Cupper

Did you know there’s a job called coffee cupping. Coffee cuppers are the folks who sample coffee and see if it’s good. They evaluate the tastes and brightness and aroma…then share their findings. It’s how I know which type of unroasted coffee beans to buy—based on the cupping score. I’m always fascinated hearing about these…
