A thought for 2008

My wife's sister and her husband gave this gift to my father-in-law... for being such a good dad.

What a reminder about the power of your influence. Your legacy will be the lives and the stories of those whose lives you have influenced.

May you plant great trees in 2008. Pay it forward. Inspire greatness. Give sacrificially. Fan passion into flames... release... then watch it grow.

PROUD

I am so proud of my little sister, Stephanie. At 32 years old, she had never lived outside of Columbus, Ohio and now she is living on the other side of the world for a year.

She is teaching English in Seoul, S. Korea to university students. She says Seoul is the LA of S. Korea (but it is twice as big as NYC).

The stories she tells of her adventures are other-worldly. Here she is visiting a local church during a weekend trip out of the city.

Only in Ohio...

... could such sacrilege be considered in good taste. I mean where else in the world would a 50 foot statue of Jesus be considered a good use of Church funds.
