Settle matters quickly with your adversary

Day 195 – Today during my Bible time, I came across Matthew 5:25 which quotes Jesus Christ as saying “settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court.”

This quote reminded me of two recent posts I published where I discussed making quick decisions and moving past trouble.

Combine those two thoughts and you have Jesus’ lesson to settle matters quickly with your adversary.

Better than I used to be

Day 193 – First off, Happy Valentine’s Day Elizabeth!

Next week we will celebrate our 7th year anniversary. I can’t believe she’s still with me. No big plans tonight except for an episode of Pub Politics. No, I’m not a bad husband. Next week we will be celebrating Valentine’s, our anniversary and Elizabeth’s 30th birthday in VEGAS!

Let 2012 blow your mind out of your skull

Day 149 – I hate money. I really really hate it. A lot of people are driven by money, especially entrepreneurs. Perhaps I shouldn’t make this confession as I’m currently seeking investors in different web ventures. But it’s the truth. Money just doesn’t motivate me. Now building something cool like a winning campaign or a big business, that motivates me, but having a lot of green stored away just doesn’t float my boat.

Today is the first day of 2012. I’m pumped to see what this year can bring. The truth is that last year was the best year of my life. Sure, it had a good many downs, but I lived life to its fullest with my soulmate. **Is it just me or has Mark Sanford completely ruined that word?**

Am I half dead?

Day 140 – Everything changed when I turned 30. I realized that my life could be half over and that it was time to pick up the pace.

I traveled a little bit, but I had not seen so many parts of the world.

I was working hard, but building someone else’s company. They traveled the country and made a name for themselves while I stayed locked up as the workhorse.

I sacked away half my paycheck for a retirement I may never see.

Why all the doom and gloom and talk of an early death?

Charity should hamper some things we want to do

Day 128 – Today, with some awfully kind donations from good friends, the Pub Politics charity challenge for the Carolina Children’s Home crossed over $3,000. Now we have to pump that number up even higher.

How much should you give to charity? I love this answer by C.S. Lewis:

I need you to give us some money

Day 126 – Allow me to take a break from my regular political banter and tell you about an organization that could use our help and how we are using Pub Politics to raise money for a great charity. Please visit www.rally.org/pubpolitics

It’s the holiday season: we rejoice in miracles and holiness of this time, enjoying family, food, friends, and festivities. As families, we gather to share time, love and traditions and create memories that last a lifetime.

When To Fight (And When To Hold It In)

Day 125 – Sometimes things can get a little heated in the political scene. We all make mistakes, but learning from them is the way to become a better person and help change the world around you.

Using Pub Politics for good

Day 120 – Phil and I have decided to start using Pub Politics for something other than drinking and bitching. The show is growing by leaps and bounds and when Republicans and Democrats come together, we should be using the opportunity to solve real problems. Look for our launch soon.

Snoozing and Losing

Day 108 – Today I want to tell you about Seth Miller. Two word describe him pretty well – pathetic loser.

This guy builds some of the worst looking WordPress sites I’ve ever seen. He supposedly smokes pot all day while attacking people on Twitter from his grandmother’s home, where he lives. Columbia attorney Todd Kincannon calls Miller “the dumbest drug dealer ever.”

Why am I here again?

Day 107 – I’ve been blogging strangely this week. You can tell by now that I’m going through some funk.

It’s quite strange that the more one sees, the more one wants to see. I decided about four years ago to change my life by traveling. And it did change my life.
