Is this man unbalanced? He’s been preaching on this very corner for 12 years, and 30 years total in the French Quarter. Awesome right? And isn’t our body a temple?

Work Life Balance Where Art Thou?

Balance is harder than it looks. But really, it’s simply a matter of not falling down. Right?

In preparing myself and my Family for Easter, I worry about finding work life balance. Anyone else?

Insight: I try to treat each day like Easter. Deep understanding, the passion of The Christ, the joy on the third day…none of this gets lost to a busy schedule.

Added the second word to make it even more lofty.

In 1995 I wrote a 463-word personal vision and mission statement and thought it sounded really cool and profound. Then I shaved 461 words off it: humble servant.
