A Tribute to Ashley

Today my wife and I had to say goodbye to a very dear and loving friend, our dog Ashley. I’ve known her for just over 15 years when she came into my life at 3 weeks old. My wife met her when she was about 6 years old. She was so small as a pup, she fit in the palm of my hand. Whe… Continue

What drives you?

Working in the motorsports industry, I get the opportunity to meet a lot of different people. Some have the exotic cars - Porsches, Ferraris, Corvettes, Aston Martins, and such.

But God

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 (NLT) War and conflicts are raging around us first in Iraq, then Afghanistan and Israel; threats rise in Iran, Pakistan and North Korea. Families are coping with the loss of loved ones that fought in battle for our freedoms established by our US Constitution. Home prices in parts of the country over the last few years have risen by 20, 30, even 50… Continue
