Musings at Altitude

We had a wonderful sermon at church today.  At one point during the sermon, our Pastor read Ephesians 2:3-7: 3 – Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. […]

I confess.  I struggle with humility.  I struggle with stepping aside so someone else can take over.  I struggle with letting someone else lead.  I struggle when there are two ways to travel to the same destination and the path chosen is someone else’s path and not mine.  And I struggle when I see folks […]

Constantly Look in the Mirror These are tough economic times, and business leaders across this country are making decisions (and in some cases having decisions made for them) that not only affect their businesses but also affect each and every team member within those businesses.  We hear stories constantly of business leaders still getting big […]

We had 4 wonderful months with our granddaughter close by, but now she’s a resident of Texas! She certainly looks like she’s adapting well!

Listen A very good friend sent out a note early yesterday morning saying he’d come down with food poisoning, so he wouldn’t be on any of the calls that morning.  A few hours later he was feeling just a little bit better (yet still in bed), and we scheduled some time to talk.  As we […]

Finish Something As I now look back on 2008 and look forward to 2009, I’m stunned by the number of things that I’ve started and moved forward to some level but have not yet finished.  They range from little things like review of company policies to big things like implementing new bonus programs.  I’ve had […]
