All the signs are happening again. The restaurant near our office has changed ownership again (the 4th time in as many years). They've changed the business name, sign, and even painted a few things. The menu is a bit different; but most people in our community couldn't clearly define that. Mrs. Winners Chicken...
We have a ridiculously, horrible-looking restaurant near our house that we drove by for over a year, until someone at church (that we fully trusted) told us that the restaurant was known for incredible pizza and wings. She saw me turn my nose up and simply said, "don't knock it for its outside,...
Everyone has to make decisions. We make them everyday. If there's not many to choose from (like: "I wonder what color pen I'll write with today?" -- and there's only a blue or a black pen near you) then it's easy. But when there's lots to choose from (like: "I wonder what restaurant I...

I also enjoy trying new restaurants. Often I...
Have you ever told someone about a favorite restaurant or store that you really love -- and when they go they have a horrible experience? Perhaps the service was different or below their expectations. Or the thick grilled filet was not as good as you described. There are so many factors that...
Well, we have one week left before we move to a new house. I can't believe how many decisions we have to make this week. We're finishing packing, changing utilities and buying materials that will help us renovate the "new" house. Then, next Saturday, it all happens. That is, after a day...
