I’m Back! I brought Frederick Douglass with me

It’s been awhile since my last post and I missed talking with all of you. I haven’t posted for a good reason, though. I bought a new house!

So I have spent these many months settling into our new home, decorating it, and adjusting to suburban life.

Generational Differences in the Church Causes Conflict

Moving from Generation ME to Generation WE

Admittedly, there were some positive aspects of creating videos for fun, but meanness, bullying and showing off was off the charts this decade. The decade was filled with incidents where the good Samaritans were scarce. If they helped at all, they did so *after* they took a video of the incident.Continue Reading

The Greatest Generation of Texters and Networkers

During my seminars, I often recommend that those who text should get one in before we start. I realize they are unable to help themselves. It’s an addiction and they will do it anyway.
