Women are like lionesses at the gate of the home. . . . She guards that gate, and things matter to that family if they matter to her. . . . Sisters, you are each like the lioness at the gate. This means that there has to be some prioritizing. I was taught years ago that when our priorities are out of order, we lose power. If we need power and influence to carry out our mission, then our priorities have to be straight.

I've been everywhere, man

Hello, it's Michael again. Lately I've been traveling all over the U.S. for work, and I've been lucky to have had some extra time after our research to visit a few great places around the country. I've taken hundreds of pictures, and I wanted to share a sampling with you. I tried to keep my ugly mug out of most of them, but I make an occasional appearance just to prove I was there. I could tell you how incredible all of these experiences were, but you heard enough from me about the Amazing Race and a picture is worth a thousand words anyway. Enjoy!
