Pattern Realm, Telling you what I see. There's a big gap, a separation between Church and marketplace. That shouldn't be this way. The faith tradition in Judao Christianity doesn't matter, it is across the board whether you're Catholic, Protestant, The Lord's Recovery, Seventh Day Adventist, Latter Day Saints, whatever. The gap is wide between pastor and congregant, priest and parisioner, and in the LDS tradition bishop and ward member. But if entrepreneurs follow the unction of Paul in 1 Corinthians 12 and 13, Romans 12 and Ephesians 4, they can bridge the gap by tapping into their spiritual gifts inside the Church. I'm not advocating turning a church into a marketplace. I'm advocating

Overcoming Psychotic Depression

Greetings Pattern Realm      Today I wish to cover a very sensitive subject and it is the subject of a little known mental illness known as psychotic depression.      I began experiencing the symptoms of this back in mid-November to early December 1997 I would skip some of my classes and also barricade myself in my apartment.  My ex-wife calmly confronted me about this and so I called to set up an appointment with a psychiatrist.      The first diagnosis came on December 5 1997 Major depression with psychotic features.  I was prescribed risperidone and taken off of my antidepressant The doctor thinking that it might have triggered the psychosis.      At first the psychosis was triggered by anxiety but a few months later having moved to the inner city of Arlington Texas the psychosis turned for a while to anger so to the point that by February 1999 my marriage was busted over.  I wanted those people that I felt wa...

Going and Growing vs Drying and Dying

Welcome Pattern Realm      Indeed it has been a few days since I have written to you but I must impart to you what has been hidden deep in the soil of my mind for the past couple of weeks a gym that has come through some coaching by a mentor of mine bubba name of the Coach Presley Swaggerty.  He said "your team is either going and growing or it is drying and dying.". Thus if we can assume the hypothesis of the coach about a team the same thing can be applied to us ourselves.      We personally are either going and growing or drying sighing and dying.       The Saturday of Labor Day weekend I came home from watching virtually and impact convention of my team.  The speeches that impacted me the most were the speeches by my mentor Presley Swaggerty and another keynote speaker by the name of Nick Voijicic who had no arms.  I thought to myself if he can become a multi millionaire and go around preaching the gospel with no arms I can...

Excuses Lugging Success?

  Well Hello Pattern Realm,      This Labor Day weekend, I virtually watched the Impact event for ACN INC in Dallas Fort Worth, and I have to tell you I AM SU FIRED UP!!!!!!      I'm ready to get rid of excuses and have less contact with my limiting friends.  So let's through the hammer down.      One of the first speakers the first day of the convention mentioned using a tool to get rid of excuses (hammer?)      Not for me!  I grew up in a small oil capital in Texas, and I fondly remember the summer when I was 14, fresh home from summer camp.  I was at my Granddad's shop that he owned for the last 5 years of 6 n his life.      One morning I saw him take a car to the front of the shop, he jacked it up, took the hubcap off and took an electric wrench to take off the old lugnuts.      So when I think of getting rid of excuses, I think of using a wrench to take them off and throw t...
