Chick Fil A to no longer fund anti-gay organizations!
by JimmyPage in"joe moreno, the alderman whose opposition of a proposed chick-fil-a on chicago's north side helped fuel the recent controversy, told the chicago tribune the company has pledged to include a statement of respect for all sexual orientations in a memo to staffers, and has promised that the winshape foundations, its not-for-profit arm, would no longer contribute money to groups that oppose gay marriage.".
i've got to say, i admire their business savvy!

Zen Living Part 22 (summarized): Zen-powered Creativity
by JimmyPage increativity isn't some aspect of you.
you are an expression of creative energy.. drawing, writing, or playing music as zazen are effective and illuminating forms of meditation.. zen poetry is an ancient art in which the poet expresses through language, as directly as possible, the experience of the present moment.. a zen approach to art appreciation means experiencing art directly, without thinking about it, comparing it to anything, or judging it.
such experiencing makes the difference between great art and lesser art more apparent.. .

Refusing blood, surviving, and brain damage- your experiences?
by JimmyPage inthe reason i bring this up is because my father went through an extended illness, refused blood, and would later act extremely confused.
granted, he was on drugs like morphine, and my jw family often blamed his behavior on that, but i suspect there was more to it than that.
i'm not discounting the drugs at all, it's just that sometimes my father became almost childlike and simple at times, even when his drug regimen was altered.

Zen Living Part 20 (summarized): Manage Your Career by not Managing Your Career
by JimmyPage inmany of us choose career paths based on false assumptions, what other people want, or on our own unfulfilled needs rather than on where our abilities lie.. striving to get ahead implies the future is somehow preferable to the now and more worthy of your attention.
it also tends to backfire.
being the best you can be right now will take you farther.. you can't control how life might impact your career-related circumstances.

Zen Living Part Eighteen (summarized): Relationships on the Job
by JimmyPage indifferent people are better suited for work in different types of environments: large corporations, small companies, or freelancing.
finding the right environment for you can improve your working relationships.. people tend to assume a lot about their work colleagues.
letting go of your assumptions deflates their power over you.. having a boss means recognizing your feelings about authority and refusing to let them compromise your performance.. being the boss means recognizing your feelings about having authority and refusing to let them compromise your performance.. the key to work, whether alone or in a group, is to focus on the work itself.. .

Mentally challenged man traps JW in house
by JimmyPage ini've heard this story twice lately- first it was told to my wife by her non-jw boss and then i heard it from my own non-jw coworkers.
i have no idea if it is really true but it's a great story.
apparently a high-functioning but mentally challenged man had his own house close to his parents' house.
