Pray for Our Country Now

Pray for Our Country Now “It’s all great fun until someone pokes an eye out.”  My mother (and I’ll bet, yours too). I do not often write on this blog on subjects that are not related to employment in some way or another.  But it is time that I, and many others, speak out loudly on an urgent...

Integrity

“The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson) We live in a country which has become bereft of honor and integrity.
