Integrity Begins With Small Things >

And just like that, I was introduced to the dark side of the business world.

11.30.08(Personal Reflection)

This Job Is Not Permanent >

A mountain of cases greeted me. All of them were soaked in oil, bent, dented, or broken open.

Lessons begin in our muscles and guts and work their way upwards until they embed themselves in our minds.

12.10.06(Personal Reflection)

Gospel Living in a Superficial World >

There is no higher calling than to live as Christians in our daily work.
