Coyote Or Kingdom?

I read Seth Godin’s blog nearly every day. I don’t know where he finds his ideas, but I’m consistently amazed at his insight and creativity. Recently, Seth observed that the coyote was obviously immortal. He referred, of course, to Wile E Coyote, the cartoon nemesis of the Road Runner. Falls off cliffs, crashes into walls, […]

A Jersey Tale

Our 10th Anniversary FREEDOM TOUR jersey tells a story. It’s more than a conglomeration of symbols, logos, and words.

Goofy

Scrolling through our photos…we memorialize some unusual moments. Who knew you could be goofy and serve Jesus? T-shirt? Dress? Night-shirt? I’m wondering why this was photo worthy. On the other hand, 25 miles on Sue’s 77th birthday was a great excuse to celebrate! Somehow, we need to convince people to “keep the rubber side down.”
