Stop Conforming: It’s Time to Consider a Financial Transformation

by Craig Ford January 9, 2012

Take a deep breath. You just did something that you’ve been doing ever since you were born. You’ve been welcoming oxygen into your body. You do this every day. You do it without knowing it.

A Silly Story About a Coke Bottle

by Craig Ford January 4, 2012

This story almost seems too ridiculous to post. *Almost* 2011 was a wonderful year for our family. We were blessed (in so many ways) beyond expectations and beyond measure. We’ve always wanted to share our blessings with the community so that we can be living examples of why the city should rejoice when the righteous [...]

Christmas Lessons on Repentance and Redemption from Three Villains

by Craig Ford December 14, 2011

This December, for the first time ever, I read Charles Dickens’s book, A Christmas Carol (free on Kindle). Of course, I’ve heard the story, but my own eyes have never seen and experienced the rhythm with which Dickens wrote. It reminded me that as much as we try to avoid it, we all have small [...]
