Phoenix Ignite

This looks really interesting and perfect for many of us who like new ideas, passion, and short presentations.  It’s next Wednesday the 25th in Tempe.  A bit like surfing the web, but in person.  Each presenter uses a slideshow format and has five minutes to present something about which they are excited.

MLK day

I encourage you to spend some time reading, listening, or watching videos relating to Martin Luther King Jr. today.  A friend of mine has put together a wonderful post that includes links, videos and quotes.  Please honor the significance of the day by learning something new about who Dr. King was.  He was an incerdible orator and trulyunderstood the power of nonviolence.

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate.

thanksgiving 08

The day after Thanksgiving we had a great time up in North Phoenix with Sean, Bekah, Bob, Rachel, Sean’s parents and Judah.  Bob and Rachel recently had a baby-congrats! David played a bean bag game with Sean’s family and I took lots of pictures.  On our way home, David and I dropped by Lola’s Tapas and had shrimp…mmm…by the way, they roast their own coffee!
