What a crazy month of January. Some of you reading already know what I went through but I didn’t tell you the whole story. There were times that I wanted to write down what was happening but if was too depressing. It’s much easier now looking back, because all the times that looked desperate have [...]
What would you asked if you had 10 minutes with God
There was a good discussion in our bible today. It was around the topic of God’s sovereignty. We listened to a speech given by a physician who gave a story of a person who had 10 minutes with God, then returned to his normal life. The guy in the story asked God some silly questions, [...]
Extreme Low and Extreme High
This last week, I easily had the worst day of my life. I’d been feeling so stressed from various things. First is that my current company owes me back salary, as much as 4 paychecks worth. Because of that, I’ve had to go job hunting, sending my resumes around. Because my skills isn’t cookie-cutter, the [...]

The objective of the trip is to go to a vocational and rehabilitation center for special needs kids and youth and interact with the kids there as well as helping with general repairs. A missions trip had been [...]
Asking The Tough Questions
Being objective about yourself is hard enough as an entrepreneur. You really, really have to dig deep and ask yourself what are your strengths and weaknesses. A lot of times, you don’t like what you find. As a Christian entrepreneur, there’s even more questions to ask yourself. A lot of times, I wonder if the [...]
True Servant Leadership
Over the past week, I had a discussion with a friend about leadership. Since I was leading efforts on two fronts: my software company and a men’s Bible study, a discussion on that topic was relevant. Our conversation centered around being leaders who serve the needs of the people they are leading. That sounds familiar [...]
