The danger of making assumptions...

This story is one of the funniest, yet at the same time saddest, stories I've heard in a while...
According to FOXNews.com, a lady sees a help wanted in the paper, describing a job a lot like hers, with her bosses' phone listed as the contact. She figures he's trying to secretly replace her. So, she goes in to the office (it's an architectural place) and deletes 7 years worth of drawings and blueprints, representing about 2.5 million dollars worth of work. Way to stick it to the man!!
Problem is, the job listing was put in the paper by the bosses' wife, looking to hire someone for her separate company. Oops!
So, the lady has now been arrested for destruction of property greater that $1000, and she's been fired.
See what happens when you make an assumption...

We're famous!!! Or, at least no longer unknown...

One of my favorite new blogs is GoodURLBadURL.com. They examine how people and companies present their URL's. I was curious to see what he thought of how I was doing things, so I sent him a copy of our logo with our URL. Based on his feedback, we made a subtle change that has a definite impact. Take a look at his post on WasillaAG.org.

12 years...

Last Saturday marked 12 years since I moved to Wasilla. It's the longest I've ever lived in any one place. We moved around a lot when I was a kid. Dad was wanted by the law, so we had to stay on the run.
Just kidding... That would've been cool, though...

Hmm... Too close to home...

I just read a great post on a blog I've not been to before... The title is " You know your not leading when..." Some of them hit too close to home:
  • You spend too much time talking about how things should be different
  • You blame the context, surroundings, or other people for your current situation
  • You procrastinate to avoid making a tough call
And there's one that drives me nuts when other people do it:
  • You talk to others about the problem rather than taking it to the person responsible

Great Quote...

I heard a great quote from Perry Noble today: "Christians are way too obsessed about the behavior of people who don't know Christ."
Why are we surprised that heathens act like heathens? What should bother us is when Christians act like heathens.
