Day 12: Be the light. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” Everyone’s story is different. The intensity of each persons experience is different. This year has been particularly challenging with the loss of my brother. He is deeply missed by his wife, two…

Day 11: Perfectly Imperfect. Today is my dad’s birthday. It was fitting to be at church with live music and the kids running around and dancing, he would have loved it. Since he was born on the eve of Christmas, he always joked he was a few hours shy of…

Day 10: Nerves/Excitement Tomorrow we are the holy family in the Family Christmas Eve service at Church, our new baby is Jesus and my big kids are angels. I can’t help but think about the commotion and stress for Mary, leading up to the birth of Jesus. We can anticipate…

Day 9: Who you know. The President of one of our Customers referred us to Jackie, his mom. How’s that for a referral? Jackie worked at a funeral home and had been held at gun point; when she called her son he drove to meet her right away – and…

Day 8: Uncertainty. There’s a severe weather/blizzard forecast for the holidays and it has me thinking about the power of uncertainty over our lives and the importance of being prepared, planful, and faithful.

Day 4: Listening. We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak. It’s likely not the first time you’ve read that, but let it soak in. The stories today reminded me of this, because I’m so proud of our team for…

Day 3: Success Success is defined differently by everyone and in different seasons of life.  Often we find our success in supporting the candidates who achieve progress towards their goal, I’m excited to share just a few from the year… Conor was a great interview, very intelligent and curious person.…

Day 2: Hard Days. We all hear about hard days, and it’s not until we experience things ourself that we can feel them quite the same. My sister called me one morning, she had hit a deer on her way home from the gym early in the morning. With 4…
