All people have some kind of flaw. Maybe you get angry quickly. Maybe you speak too quickly. Perhaps you have an eye that wanders and looks in the wrong direction. Maybe you do what you shouldn’t do, or maybe you don’t do what you should do. At some point, we all do wrong and step […]
Read moreWhen a murderer stands before a judge, it’s no use for him to describe what a good father he was to his children or what a good husband he was to his wife. None of the stories of how he helped people in need will make a difference. None of his good deeds will erase […]
Read moreMy friend and business partner was very innovative. He never stopped trying. He often suggested new concepts or plans for us to try.
