Harold Camping was in the news recently, but this time it wasn't to predict the end of the world. It was to apologize for doing so. Here are a few excerpts from his letter and audio apology: From his letter: “Family Radio has no interest in even considering another date,” his letter said. “We have learned the very painful lesson that all of creation is in God’s hands and he will end time in his time, not ours! We humbly recognize that God may not tell his people the date when Christ will return, any more than he tells anyone the date they will die physically.” From his audio apology: "Incidentally, I have been told that I said back in...

Tomorrow is World Handshake Day and I thought this would be a good time to talk about what your handshake says about you, especially in a business setting. Limp Handshake A limp hand is never a good idea when it comes to business either for men or for women. Prospective employees with a weak handshake have not been hired.

Most people go to a lot of trouble for Mother's Day, taking mom out to dinner, buying her flowers and a special gift. Fathers don't seem to merit the same attention. It may be just that taking mom out to dinner is more appreciated because she gets a break from all the nights she has to cook her own dinner or the fact that mothers do have a more difficult time during the pregnancy and birth of baby, but fathers seem to be getting short shrift. The Bible compares fathers to our heavenly...
Here's a little bit of a funny take on communication technology for you this fine Friday Funny Day. The following are tv commercials for Verizon and Motorolla's Droid Razr. Notice the stark contrast in how mother/daughter and father/son react to graduation and moving away. Here is the original Mother/Daughter commercial. Later on, Verizon got some complaints and changed the commercial so that it didn't need subtitles. I'm not sure what the complaint was or why the change, but in my humble opinion, the original was much funnier. Here is the Father/Son commercial, also with subtitles. Nobody complained there. What do you think of the commercials? Why do you think the original Mother's Day commercial was changed? Why do you think the...
