Welcome - My Goal, Total Focus on where the bus should go. (Adoration, Action, & Adventure)

This past year I read the book called the "Energy Bus". Realizing that life needs to be driven in the correct direction, I have decided to make sure that my bus is going where I want it to go. This web page is my attempt to log where the bus has gone, as well as to focus on where the bus needs to go.

I wish to acknowledge my wife Tamara. What a great women. I am blessed to have this special individual who choose to take her bus beside mine. It's great to have another bus beside you. Thanks again.

I have a great job/career. But what's the next step. I'm a life long learner, that will stay of the positive side of life. What should I be focusing on? My answer so far:
God
Family
Friends
Work
"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." Philippians 4: 11b - 13, NIV.
