"I'm their leader! Which way did they go?" I have a cap with two bills on it, one in the front and one in the back with that slogan on it. It's funny because it's so often true. Leadership is always such a rewarding and challenging calling. In fact, if...
It really is amazing what price we humans are willing to pay to get what we desire. We have some interesting priorities. Did you know that we spend about 17 BILLION dollars a year on pet food in Europe and the US? We spend 8 BILLION dollars a year...

The lady was being interviewed on British television about the steep decline in church attendance in Britain. You've seen these "man on the streets" reports. The reporter goes out and talks to random people about a certain subject, and what usually happens is that these reports reveal just how...
