2010 is off to a great start!  I’m grateful to finally have clarity about living life as a lay person, and am acting on it (the past weeks have been very productive).  I’ve put a lot of work into my business, and I’m starting to see results.  I’ve also made more of an effort…

This past week was not my best.  I got lonely, so I decided I might try dating someone (amazing how quickly I can sometimes ignore my faith!).  I rationalized it by saying there are plenty of other sins in my life to keep me out of heaven, why not just throw fornication into the…

I’ve always been an entrepreneur.  When I was a kid, I would set up stores in my closet to sell to the neighborhood kids.  In college, I owned a few internet companies.  When I was working, I couldn’t wait to start another business.  That opportunity came last year, but with mixed results.  The freedom…
