A safe place to learn and grow… Ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals… Life-enhancing programs and character development experiences… Hope and opportunity. For many of us, the above describes a happy home. Children need a safe place to learn and grow. They need ongoing relationships with caring adults. They need experiences to enhance their quality [...]

Sunday Service – Boys and Girls Clubs
January 8, 2012Tuesday Tidbit
January 3, 2012Many of us have used the ”Stop, Start, Continue” method of soliciting feedback from team members. There are various ways to collect the information but, essentially, we ask our teams to tell us one thing they would like us to stop doing, one thing they would like us to start doing, and one thing we should continue doing. [...]
Sunday Service: The reason for the season
December 25, 2011For unto us a child is born, unto us a Savior is given. I took this photo last night after midnight mass at St. Mary Church, Columbus, Ohio. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Tuesday Tidbit
December 13, 2011There are several key factors that impact how a person adapts to challenge, especially during times of change. Some factors to are easier to impact that others; for example, helping someone understand, ”What is changing? Why is this change being made? What does it mean to me?” One of the harder things to measure and impact is a person’s attitude, yet it can [...]
Thank you Thursday
November 3, 2011Sometimes, I need reminders that thankfulness can be for the most ordinary of things. Last night, I watched a recording of NBC news anchor Brian Williams’ new show, Rock Center. The very first segment was about Williston, North Dakota, a town in the middle of an oil-driven economic boom. Among the success stories, correspondent Harry Smith [...]
Thank you Thursday
October 20, 2011Thank you Thursday was a practice I adapted from an August 2010 post by the same name on the Modern Servant Leader blog, written by Ben Lichtenwalner. I loved the idea of intentional gratitude and the intentional expression of gratitude. What I’ve learned is that thinking about being thankful for the “big” things is easy. Remembering all of the little things [...]

October 11, 2011It feels like the last few weeks’ Tuesday Tidbit messages have been quite the serious kind. I thought I would go for a little silliness this week. What I found though, is that even silliness can have a serious meaning. Here are some great Dr. Seuss quotes to consider: You have brains in your head. [...]
Thank you Thursday
October 6, 2011It’s a good feeling when I’m asked to do something because I do it well. Through my past actions, I’ve proven that I can take on whatever the task is and be counted on to get it done and do it well. I generally work independently, I can rally the troops, I can transform a [...]
Tuesday Tidbit
September 27, 2011I went to see Moneyball on Sunday, Brad Pitt‘s newest movie. It’s a well-acted, interesting (though slow-moving) story of how Oakland A’s General Manager Billy Beane (Pitt) used statistical analysis to put players on the field who could get on base and score runs. This was counter to the usual goal of going after the [...]
Sunday Service – Sweet Autumn Project
September 25, 2011It seems hard to believe, but the first day of Autumn has come and gone. As the weather cools, we’re putting away our summer clothes, and taking warmer clothes out of storage. We’ll be sitching from lightweight bed linens to warmer ones. We’ll also begin planning and shopping for Halloween and Thanksgiving; some over achievers will soon [...]
