For this Sunday I have again decided to pull a post from my legacy blog at RedLetterLiving.net (Click on the logo above to see RLL). It was originally posted 13 years ago, but it seems to be more relevant to today’s version of Christianity We forget to distinguish between history as a record of the elites and history as a record of the people.

I like to think that I am a forward looking guy who embraces change, but sometimes I am stuck in my ways simply because that’s what I have always done. That was probably the hardest lesson to learn 25 years ago when I left the corporate world. I couldn’t imagine what my life was going to be like now that my time was my own.
