Mark
Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc. I was named after a Gospel writer. The name Mark is also related to the Roman god Mars. It was probably Anglicized when the King James Bible was translated. It means or at least meant “Mighty Warrior.” It also has connotations with racing “On your…

Leading the Way
What makes a good leader? I find that the best leaders are the ones that do it by example. When someone tells me to do something they have no ability or intention to do themselves I don’t feel led. When a leader is doing what needs to be done and expects me to put forth…

No More Crosses
If you could un-invent something, what would it be? Of all the inventions humans have even made I think I would most like to “uninvent” crucifixion.

Road Trips
Think back on your most memorable road trip. When I was ten my parents moved the family from Michigan to Maryland. At Thirteen we moved to Wisconsin. For about the next ten years (on and off) our family would ride a round trip of those three places usually stopping to see relatives as well. My…

Dove Chocolate
I am sitting at my computer typing at the moment. Directly to to right of my mouse are cat treats (creamy dairy flavor Temptations). Those are obviously not for me. To the right of that is about half a bag of Dove Silky Smooth Promises Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Caramel candies. That is my…
