For hundreds of years, people have pointed out, “you have two ears and one mouth, use them appropriately.” How often have we watched, (or participated) in a conversation where both or all parties seemed to be speaking and then waiting for their next turn where they repeat the same thing. Sometimes a little more passionately or with more conviction, (volume)...[ read more ]

How often have you heard things like, “when is the best time to plant a tree?”  The traditional answer is, “20 years ago.”  The moral being, if you had, you would have shade or fruit by now.  The proverb continues, “the second-best time is now.” That is an “if everything goes right,” answer.  What if drought got it before it...[ read more ]
