Called to Bunt: December 2010

A blog about my adventures of learning to serve others. Sunday, December 26, 2010. The thought of peers, fellow citizens or distinguished men and women rising to their feet is a humbling one. This past month I learned that my father was appointed to the bench and from here on out would be referred to as “his honor.” From now on, when he walks into a courtroom to deliver justice, the members will rise.

A blog about my adventures of learning to serve others. Sunday, September 25, 2011. Life is not a competition. It is a journey that can be especially hard on those who do not enter it equipped with the right education, socioeconomic background or strong bonds of a family as support. In short, life is not fair. And so making various components such as school, jobs and diplomacy into a zero sum game, creates a class of haves and have-nots. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Called to Bunt: Why the 47% Matters
http://jojoinparadise.blogspot.com/2012/10/why-47-matters.html
A blog about my adventures of learning to serve others. Monday, October 15, 2012. Why the 47% Matters. In this country we ask our elected officials to represent our best interests. While we may not all agree on the best strategies or policies to move us forward, we believe that no matter who gets elected, that they will remember that we are the “United” not “Divided” States of America. Let’s make the case for why he’s not. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Four Planes Took Off. Why the 47% Matters.

A blog about my adventures of learning to serve others. Saturday, February 19, 2011. All the Right Reasons. Looking back nearly six years from when I started this journey of my life where I have given my country some of my "best years," I often wonder why I am still serving. Is it for the same reasons? Monday, February 14, 2011. Back to the Future. Thursday, February 3, 2011. I'm often asked "how do you know so much? From my daily paper, my weekly magazine subscriptions, my kindle or library collection I...

A blog about my adventures of learning to serve others. Wednesday, February 10, 2010. Recently, there has been heated debate concerning the fate of suspected terrorists. With Guantanamo Bay closing down and the question of where these alleged criminals ought to be tried, the politics of fear have once again surfaced and captivated an audience of Americans with short term memories.

A blog about my adventures of learning to serve others. Monday, November 9, 2009. Faces in the Crowd. For the people who walk past my brother on a daily basis, they may never know that he had 5,716 flying hours aboard the E-3 AWACS or that 1,000 of those were in Combat. Even if they did, they probably wouldn't know what that meant. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Faces in the Crowd. All Gave Some; Some Gave All. A Case for Immigration. Dreams From My Mother.

Called to Bunt: May 2012
http://jojoinparadise.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
A blog about my adventures of learning to serve others. Thursday, May 24, 2012. I suppose my modesty has come from the fact that I have been able to put everything into perspective a little bit better than I did when I was 18, 22 and 25. For when I compare what I have done to my grandparents and parents, I see very clearly how short I fall in comparison. It is by looking at my parents that I truly know what achievement is. Graduation will always be about the people who got me there. Four years from n...

A blog about my adventures of learning to serve others. Tuesday, December 22, 2009. A Call to Action. A man pulled up to his driveway after working a long day and sighed as he removed the keys from the ignition. Exhausted by the day to day routine, he reminisced, acknowledged his two jobs, fifty hour work week and wondered about what his efforts were leading towards. After some contemplation he stepped out of his truck and remarked “it’s the American way I guess.”. What is the American way? Christmas is ...
