Sunday, October 30, 2011. It's All About Relationships, Relationships, Relationships! It's all about Relationships! In the long period since my last entry, some major events have taken place. My mother has crossed the 80 yr. mark, my father his 86th, and they celebrated 60 years of marriage! A gathering of friends, family, extended family, and adopted family culminated the weekends festivities. It was a wonder to watch! As we come to All Saints Day, and I pause to remember the Saints that have marched th...

Steve Rottgers Consulting: Only Four Kernels!
http://steverottgers.blogspot.com/2011/11/only-four-kernels.html
Thursday, November 17, 2011. In the midst of the severe winter they had to endure, some of the gentile members thought it below themselves to work as common laborers doing the meager chores and tasks to support the colony. As things got even worse and with the depletion of what stores they were able to stock, things got very dire! It became the rule that "No Work - No Food! And at the lowest part of the winter siege, the daily ration was 4, that's right, only 4 kernels of corn per day!

Steve Rottgers Consulting: November 2011
http://steverottgers.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 25, 2011. Black Friday, the Monty Hall Paradox and a New Advent. Like many of you today, I engaged and survived "Black Friday! I was up and out amongst the crowds at 5:30 AM and walked out of one store with a cart overflowing next to a late middle aged couple donning their Santa Hats. Everyone was cordial and seemingly getting what was on their "Want Lists" without much hassle or turmoil. In short, we all won! It has its very own name, "The Monty Hall Paradox! When I was younger and the ...

Steve Rottgers Consulting: August 2011
http://steverottgers.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 6, 2011. We are here for an education - Edward Deming - Feast of the Transfiguration. First off, my apologies for the lack of postings. I have moved to a new venue from Georgetown, Texas to a new position as Priest in Charge at St. Anne's Episcopal Church in Lees Summit, MO and have had learning curves to conquer in technology before getting back on line and on track. Sorry and again welcome! We are here for an education! I believe this with all of my heart! To not do so would mean death!

Steve Rottgers Consulting: Some Basics for making New Year's Resolutions
http://steverottgers.blogspot.com/2011/12/some-basics-for-making-new-years.html
Thursday, December 29, 2011. Some Basics for making New Year's Resolutions. I offer three basics when it comes to forming and discerning New Year Resolutions:. 1 You will achieve more by doing less! 3, One final idea that I have also gleaned from Stephen Covey's work, is, "4 Basic Assumptions for Life" I actually feel that these four basic assumptions are to be for me my top 20% of how I am going to respond 90% of the time to the 10% that I have no control over in my life, They are:.

Steve Rottgers Consulting: St. Nicholas in Our Modern Time
http://steverottgers.blogspot.com/2011/12/st-nicholas-in-our-modern-time.html
Monday, December 5, 2011. St Nicholas in Our Modern Time. Most of the world will be caught up in the dwindling number of shopping days until Christmas, or distracted by the harm or peril befallen someone on the news, or the teeter-totter pitch of the economy, and will have no idea of the passing of St. Nicholas Day tomorrow! I know it is a long background for a blog posting, however, if we understood the nature of the first real Santa Clause (St. Nicholas) perhaps it would be easier to catch an insig...

Steve Rottgers Consulting: Silent Night, Holy Night ; Peace on Earth and Goodwill to All Humankind !
http://steverottgers.blogspot.com/2011/12/silent-night-holy-night-peace-on-earth.html
Friday, December 23, 2011. Silent Night, Holy Night ; Peace on Earth and Goodwill to All Humankind! So much for the ascetics of silence, awe and wonder for that year! To top off the night, I read the Luke Nativity Account once again flawlessly at the Midnight Mass prior to the rector's sermon and sat down with a sense of pride and fulfillment. He leaned over and said, "You read that well, I'm preaching on the Gospel of John! At which point, I looked back at him and said fearlessly, "Good Luck! About 3-5 ...

Steve Rottgers Consulting: What do you want to be when you grow up?!
http://steverottgers.blogspot.com/2011/12/what-do-you-want-to-be-when-you-grow-up.html
Monday, December 12, 2011. What do you want to be when you grow up? I remember my first time answering this question of life sometime before I reached the first grade. I wanted to be a garbage man! Until an elevator accident the summer between my junior and senior years. The out-of-body-death experience changed all the rules and perceptions. I was to become a Priest in the Episcopal Church. The first five years was just the excitement to learn and apply what had been taught or not taught in seminary clas...
