If you listen to the radio at all you’ve probably heard “The A Team” by Ed Sheeran. It hit 16 on the Billboard charts several months ago. The lyrics of the song haunts me a bit. I think the combination of the lyrics, and the fact that it got so high on the billboard charts so quickly, haunt me even more.

You can review those posts here, here, here, and here.
Today, we are going to talk about why a CRM system isn’t actually the solution. Continue reading “CRM – Technology isn’t the Solution”

2.Eye of the Tiger
3.Any other American song that I have heard.

I learned something the other day that I was hoping to learn while here. I was meditating on what God was doing in my life. Through loneliness and through hurting people I was in a way experiencing what God feels for the people here. He wants them to know Him and is hurt by the atmosphere that cares nothing for the poor and orphaned. Continue reading “God is Emotional”
