My Thoughts on Morgan Wallen’s Apology Video

My Thoughts on Morgan Wallen’s Apology Video

One of the most powerful things we can do is take responsibility for our actions. And saying “I’m Sorry” goes a long way, but we often must put actions to our words.

Several weeks ago Morgan Wallen did a really stupid thing. No arguing there. We now know he was on a “72-hour bender” and we all know we do stupid things when we make stupid choices.

Please note, I’m not making that an excuse, but it is a reason. Obviously, there are still some things in Wallen’s heart he needs to work out to even make him use that word.

But what I immediately saw was cancel culture yet again kick into full gear. Was that the right response?

Why You Might Be Part of the Political Problem

Why You Might Be Part of the Political Problem

“What a libtard.” You’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

“Trumpsters are at it again.” You’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

“Joe Biden is a f$@ktard.” You’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

“Trump is a racist rapist.” You’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

A Letter to the Class of 2020

Dear Class of 2020,

I’m sorry. I won’t even pretend to say I understand, because I have no idea what you’re going through.

Something has been stripped away from you that has never before happened in history – that I’m aware of anyway.

Frankly, it sucks.

That Time I Met Governor Mike Parson: Why God Wastes Nothing

That Time I Met Governor Mike Parson: Why God Wastes Nothing

God wastes nothing.

My mom was a prison guard for 10 years at Church Farm in Jeff City. I can’t remember what I had for dinner yesterday, but still remember the phone number there. 751-2053. A debilitating car accident in 1994 ended that job for her and changed our lives forever.

Sometime in 200?, I picked my dad up from prison. His DOC # was 232404. A debilitating addiction eventually took his life.

In October 2018 my boss gave me a promotion and invited me to become part of the ReEntry team, going into the prisons and helping inmates transition back into the workforce.

That morphed into more than I ever could have imagined, with the opportunity to write a curriculum teaching men and women personal and professional development. Starting next week I’ll be taking that curriculum into a third facility.

Holding My Breath and Catching it Again: My 2019 Recap

Holding My Breath and Catching it Again: My 2019 Recap

2019 was a BIG year. A year where I caught my breath, held my breath, lost my breath, and caught it again.

I started 2019 playing the air guitar, with a little less fear of what others thought about me than the year before. I started 2020 playing the air guitar, with a lot less fear of what others thought about me than the year before. It felt nice. But my knees hurt a little more this go around. Lay off the sugar, Sundi Jo.

I experienced adventures, drama, comedy, and heartbreaks.

Introducing Tooty Mae Woolley

Introducing Tooty Mae Woolley

Last week I told you I met someone and couldn’t wait to introduce them to the world. Well.. the time has come. I hope I don’t regret this…

Meet Tooty Mae Woolley, my 3rd cousin twice removed…

I met Tooty Mae a few months ago at the Larry’s Country Diner show in Branson, Mo. When I heard her last name, I knew we had to be related. There just aren’t too many people in the world with the name Woolley.
