Focus on the Family - Small Changes

Oneplace.com: Focus on the Family (Dr. James Dobson) - Broadcast Archives: "'Houston, we have a problem.' Just a two-degree shift in Apollo 13's homeward course would have caused the spacecraft to miss the earth by thousands of miles. Indeed, minor changes can make a big difference. The same principle applies in daily life. For example, how long did you maintain your New Year's resolution to lose 20 lbs? Setting the bar too high often leads to discouragement, but smaller, more manageable changes can increase your likelihood of success. Psychologist and author Dr. John Trent discusses simple adjustments that can lead to life-changing results.
'How in the world such can a small degree of difference lead to such a great effect? I don’t meet couples that, when they got married, were 11,121 miles apart. They started off two degrees [apart] and all of a sudden they woke up one day and were miles apart.' - Mr John Trent "

Pictures from my trip

"It is Finished!"

After approximately 630 hours of class time, 288 hours out of the country, and 252 hours meeting with my study group I am finished with my studies. I am now a holder of a Masters in Technology Management from George Mason University.

As I was walking to accept my diploma you'll notice I am grinning from ear to ear at the thought of being able to spend time with my wonderful family and friends again. Thanks to all of you, especially my wife Shari, for all of your support over the last 18 months.

If for some crazy reason you would like to order a picture for yourself go to http://www.gradimages.com and type in customer number 743517. The other picture of me is goofy though so don't pick that one :)
