Fixing Broken Things

Posted on April 9, 2017 by Chris Hambleton

“His name is MacGyver, and he can fix anything.” Growing up in the Midwest, we watched a lot of television in the winter, even though we only got three channels (four, if you count PBS, which we never did). My … Continue reading →

Two Scoops, Please!

Posted on March 19, 2017 by Chris Hambleton

Disclaimer: this isn’t a post about Raisin Bran (though it would taste wonderful this morning!), but about self-worth. It’s a subject that’s been bouncing around in the back of my mind for awhile, particularly recently. And honestly, the more I consider it, the more I … Continue reading →

Do the Next Thing

Posted on February 26, 2017 by Chris Hambleton

This has been one of those weeks where everything hit the proverbial fan. The highlight was getting into an accident on an icy hill that put my car into the shop, and then learning the damage would be far too costly … Continue reading →

Decisions, Decisions, 2016

Posted on October 21, 2016 by Chris Hambleton

Life is full of tough decisions — and when it comes to politics, sometimes repugnant decisions! Though the 2016 political season has been ongoing for the last year, we only have a couple weeks left until the general election. Then — it’s back to “life” … Continue reading →

A Peculiar Epiphany

Posted on September 29, 2016 by Chris Hambleton

Epiphanies. Sometimes they hit you right out of the blue for no apparent reason. I don’t have epiphanies very often, but when I do, they’re usually rather significant. Sometimes they’re a stream of thoughts that rush through my mind, while other … Continue reading →

Failing Fast, Failing Often

Posted on September 18, 2016 by Chris Hambleton

Fail fast, fail often. In the new development world at my office (now two years old), this mantra has been repeated countless times. While at first it seemed like it was another one of those Silicon Valley fads that come and … Continue reading →

Compassion? For Her?!?!

Posted on August 28, 2016 by Chris Hambleton

Compassion. Sometimes it pops up in the most surprising of times, places — and people. A couple weeks ago when glancing over the political headlines, Donald Trump struck a low-blow against Hillary Clinton over her brain “short-circuiting” and I suddenly felt two very strong … Continue reading →

Rethinking the Rapture

Posted on August 12, 2016 by Chris Hambleton

The Rapture. The Vanishing. Millions of sets of empty clothes lying in the streets, in cars, in airports. The subject of one of the greatest best-selling Christian fiction works of all time (“The Left Behind Series”). To briefly introduce the … Continue reading →

Building Tru-Strength

Posted on July 26, 2016 by Chris Hambleton

Crossfit. Strength-training. Endurance exercises. Bigger, better, faster, stronger, longer, more. No pain, no gain.

If You Were in the Bible…

Posted on June 21, 2016 by Chris Hambleton

Have you ever wondered how your story would read if it was written into the Bible? How would it start? How would it end? What would be some of the highlights? Would your life-story be glossed-over like many in the early chapters of … Continue reading →
