Business Briefs - Doing Virtuous Business: The Remarkable Success of Spiritual Enterprise by Theodore Malloch

This book takes the reader through a series of different stories of businesses that have done business the virtuous way and have prospered because of it or in spite of it depending on your view. The book tells us stories of Tyson Chicken, Chik Filet, Wal-Mart and a few others and how they fared because of this. In some cases, the original fallout was intense and caused the company undue hardship. In the end, the companies emerged stronger and better than they had been before the problem occurred.

One Thousand Gifts - Prayer Request

This prayer request is being cross-posted.

While my husband and I were out earlier today, a fire truck went zooming by the Walmart. Considering all the fires that are popping up in this way-too-dry state, it was a bit exciting and not so much in the fun connotation of that word. We got back into the car to see where the fire truck was going.

Heartstrings by Suzanne - Dada Poetry

Dada Poetry

I was doing some research on various poem styles this evening and came across one that I've never heard of. It is called "Dada". I have heard of Dada art, but had never heard the term in regards to poetry. It is a poem that makes no sense at all, like someone took the words of a poem and poured them out of a bucket to land where they may.
