The first and one of the most legendary Marvel movies was Iron Man. It’s a unique plot in which a “genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist” is kidnapped on a work trip. He has a crazy procedure performed on him to save his life after injuries and is hidden in a cave in the middle of no-where. He is instructed that he…

The problem with residency is not necessarily the work hours. The hours are grueling for sure. However, the hours are necessary. My second year, the work hour limits were changed- no one was allowed to work more than 24hr shifts anymore. What we found was not that we were more refreshed and rested, but that it made life more complicated.…

I am the Queen of planning. I just need a vision or a big picture idea and I can’t seem to help it. For instance, if writing a book is the goal, we need to start with a blog, then some webinars, writing obviously, and research others’ ideas… If I have the plan, I can always reduce it to the…

But honestly, serving God is not about being famous. It’s about the tiny steps and small decisions that we make each day that hopefully take us closer and closer to God.

Every time the Olympics are on I start thinking about Cool Runnings. Cool Runnings is one of my favorite movies of all time. If you haven’t ever seen it (and I really think you should), the movie is about the first Jamaican bobsled team in 1988. Three of the men on the team are Jamaican qualifying sprinters who don’t make…

The young boy at the cash register looked annoyed but managed an angry and lackadaisical, “What do you want?” A room full of people sat nearby, trying not to lose their cool. This was one of my favorite places in town to get chicken. Usually. Today there was evidently not a manager on duty. And the four teens left in…

What is it about movies nowadays that have us actually routing for the bad guy? After watching the second movie with my friends, they both exclaimed that they had only watched the movie because of Loki. I turned to them in complete surprise. “But, Loki is the bad guy, and not the main character, and you can’t trust anything he…
