Conformity vs. Unity

Earlier this week I watched a documentary called How to Become a Tyrant, and it included rulers like Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin, Joseph Stalin, and Muammar Gaddafi. The episode I watched provided some scripts followed by these power-hungry dictators, such as act as if you are a man of the people.

Go Beyond the Vitals

I recently watched the documentary, 7 Yards, which details the heroic story of Chris Norton. At the age 18, Chris suffered a debilitating spinal cord injury with only a 3% chance of survival.
 
However, not only did Chris survive, but he was also able to walk across the stage with his fiancé for his college diploma.

Seek Cooperation, Not Compliance

While watching a recent newscast, I heard an executive from a pharmaceutical company state that he is more interested in cooperation rather than compliance.
 
There is a lot to unpack with this comment, so let’s try to keep it simple.
 

Define Your Purpose

I’m writing this blog around 8:30 am on a Saturday morning, and my day is coming along well.
 
Through our parish, I participate in a men’s bible study program called That Man Is You (TMIY), and we meet on Saturday mornings at 6:30 a.m.
 
I have decided to make this time commitment a priority in my life.  Yes … it’s a little early for a weekend, but the benefits of the program far outweigh an extra hour or two of sleep.
