Usually, the Sunday Service post spotlights a charity whose work has appealed to me through either the organization’s vision, its mission, or timelinesss of need served. Today, however, is not a usual day. To somehow add to the conversation on this tenth anniversary of the 9/11/01 attack on the U.S., I thought I would share a few quotes [...]

September 11, 2011Sunday Service – 9/11 National Memorials
September 4, 2011This week, most Americans will spend at least a few moments reflecting on the tragic events of September 11, 2001. The four attacks by al-Qaeda on the U.S. that morning in Manhattan, NY (2), Washington D.C., and near Shanksville, PA, changed our lives and our world in countless ways. The most important thing we can do is never forget. [...]
Sunday Service – Ohio Fallen Heroes Memorial
August 28, 2011Grass roots efforts often lead to amazing results. Several years ago, a group of Ohio veterans had the vision for a memorial paying tribute to Ohio military members who lost their lives in the war on terrorism since September 11, 2001. Thanks to the passion and drive of those visionaries, the cooperation of the town of Sunbury Ohio, [...]
Newslink: Leadership
August 5, 2011Masculine “Norms”: Why Women Find It Hard to Reach The Top Let me begin by stating that I am generally not a fan of the commonly expressed belief that the reason more women aren’t in corporate leadership positions is entirely because of the men making the decisions. In my opinion, that statement is as sexist as the idea itself. Todays newlink, however, provides [...]

July 25, 2011The Little Red Book of Wisdom; (revised edition) by Mark DeMoss and published by Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2011 (original published in 2007) My personal book preference is one that uses real life stories that I can relate to, introducing them with an interesting approach and sharing positive outcomes and impacts; stirring in some inspirational nuggets that are easy [...]

Thank you Thursday
July 7, 2011I wrote this post several days in advance, because I am recovering today from kidney stone surgery. Assuming all went well, today I am certainly thankful for good doctors and nurses who can help their patients find relief from pain. As a little twist on “Thank you Thursday,” (#TYT) I thought I would share some quotes about gratitude today: At times [...]
No candy at parades?
July 4, 2011Our local newspaper, The Columbus Dispatch, ran an article this week titled, For Safety’s sake, some parades ban candy tossing, about several local towns that are not allowing candy to be thrown from Independence Day floats. Citing risks related to high-velocity sweets and the danger of luring young ones toward moving vehicles, most parade organizers in central [...]
