Creative Links: Why I’m “All In” With 3 Additional Social Media Sites

Why did I start using 3 additional social media sites? OK, here’s why… People want to know who we really are, in order to do business with us. I want to be REAL. Of course, one can still resole shoes without an online presence through the good ole yellow pages, but to shine shoes really [...]

Finding Our Greatest Gift

Our greatest gift… how do you zero in on that question? If I spend time thinking about it here is what I come up with: I believe the greatest gift we ever received was Jesus. He came here for one reason… we all fall short of God’s glory, and the only way we can have [...]
