Fear Doesn’t Win
There’s no one who has not had to battle fear. At times, everyone has been afraid; whether you’re a 6’7” – 300 pound football lineman or a 40 pound 2nd grader, everyone has experienced fear …. the weak and the strong.

“Pay Close Attention”
Back in the day I worked in Quality Control (QC) for a soft drink beverage company that produced Pepsi and ginger ale, and other flavored drinks. Our job was to run various tests …. checking sugar content, pH, carbonation, color…. making sure the final product was up to standard. When you began filling over a 1,000 cans/minute, no one … Continue reading “Pay Close Attention”
