A lot of times I hate it when people find out I am a preacher. I have found that the greatest minister is also the greatest servant. When I was a Quaker Pastor in Tennessee, I was a little unusual. If your yard needed mowing, I mowed it. If your garden needed tilling, I […]

Dear Guts is Key Reader. As you know, I come out with lots of fresh material. But sometimes I like to review materials I have already written. I find that I can often learn more the second time around and hopefully find more about it to share with you. Good truths are often like […]

Someone e-mailed this to me & it was too special not to share it with you! Daniel’s Gloves I sat, with two friends, in the picture window of a quaint restaurant just off the corner of the town-square. The food and the company were both especially good that day. As we talked, my attention was […]

Quite a few of my Twitter followers ask me questions from time to time about the style of karate that I teach. Shotokan is the style I trained in for 20+ years and taught in Florida for several years and now teach in North Carolina. Karate has been a part of […]
