I Am Retiring… – by Brad Rhame
Kind of.
I am retiring from most of my social media sites. I just erased my Linkedin, Twitter, and Google+ accounts. I also unsubscribed from every Youtube channel I followed.
WHY??
I am an all or nothing person. And right now I am not living up to my profiles. So, I have decided to give them up.
I have also allowed social media to consume my life. That is a major reason why I never started a Facebook page. My family has had to sit the bench while social media and I played.
It is time to return to My world and stop wondering about the rest of the world. If you can juggle both equally, then have at it. For me, that just does not work.
Will I keep my Kindle? Yes, but mostly for reading and checking email.
Life, on Earth, is short and I want my family to know I was there for them. I want to be in the action more than watching the action (Youtube).
So, for those that know me, I will be around. Hopefully more physically, than socially (media).
And don’t forget…”Love to Live and Learn to Laugh”
A Jesus Response to Suicide

Comedian Robin Williams’ recent suicide has once again exposed the different ways that “Christian” people respond to the tragic issue of suicide.
Many people of faith who respected Williams for his talent are bemoaning his loss.
No Christian I’ve ever met believes that suicide is a good thing.
There is a wide consensus among people of faith — as well as people who don’t subscribe to any belief in God — that in many cases, suicide is a selfish act.
Indeed, in many cases, the individual committing suicide isn’t thinking about the unspeakable pain that will be brought upon her or his loved ones for their entire lives.
However, what if a person isn’t in their right mind when they pull the trigger (so to speak)? What if they are so sullen that they can’t see or…

Inspiring Greatness – by Brad Rhame
Being the best is predicated on great teams. Creating great teams requires everyone using their strengths. We are constantly working on being OUR best, but are we constantly helping others be THEIR best? How often are you encouraging those around you?
Sometimes we get so caught up in competing with our coworkers that we don’t take the time to congratulate them on their achievements. In sales, we are trying to grab the next great client, before our teammates do. In retail, we are always vying for the boss’s approval, so we can get that next promotion. In the office, we are trying to put in our time for the next raise and more seniority.
We spend so much time trying to beat everyone else that we forget to cheer them on. Everyone loves to be congratulated and that means your peers too. By creating a positive atmosphere, we are helping others do well, along with ourselves. Great teams require great motivation. We must put more effort into helping others become their best. That way they will return the favor. Life is too short not to share it with your coworkers. Inspire the best in others and you will have a team like you have never known.
