Which are you? On the one hand, I don’t know if there has ever been a more critical point for our country than right now. Things look pretty bleak at times. We’re a nation of thermometers. On the other hand, as is always the case when we come to a fork in […]
READ MOREThere are so many posts I could write in relation to the Civil War and the great leaders who fought on both sides but, at some point, I know I’ll have to get back to life in 2009. Alas. But not just yet! Because every lesson learned still very much applies to today. Unless… Unless […]
