Guest Post | Career Connectors

On Wednesday, I had the privilege to write a blog recap on the Phoenix Area Career Connectors site.

Source: 10-27-15—The Work Before the Work

Pamela Heward was the keynote speaker. She did a great job talking about the personal development we need to do and assumptions we must let go of when in a career transition.

The presentation was also great for anyone starting their own business needing  to let go of assumptions that hold them back.

There is also some information on Phoenix area employers and resources for job hunters. Enjoy!

Daredevils and Backsliders on the Playground

If you are in Arizona and are looking for a way to make a positive impact with our southern neighbors, I highly recommend it.

On Saturday morning, I was a group that helped install foam insulation in a church. That afternoon, the men went to a shelter for males in drug and alcohol rehab.

Pumpkin Spiced everything

"But Pastor! Would you at least consider pumpkin spice communion wafers?"
Copyright ©2015 Kevin Spear
It appears 2015 is the year pumpkins spice has gone too far. More than one person has complained to me there is too much pumpkin spice in everything from muffins to pizza. There’s even Pumpkin Spice Halloween costumes!

While I love pumpkin pie, chocolate chip, pumpkin muffins and even a pumpkin spice latte, I would have to draw the line at communion wafers. Keep the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves away from them, thank you very much!
