Profile Information

How did you hear about 48Days.NET, and what do you hope to get out of being a part of this community?: Have read and enjoyed Dan Miller's materials for a few years. He has inpired me to pursue dreams of being independant and enjoying life and work to the fullest.

What is your current work situation? Employee, self-employed, generating any income on your own?: Full time employed At a large church in Worship Arts and facilitating Special Events. Another 15-20% of my income is generated in a side business.

And then...what is your goal/dream for your work life?: I have an interest in helping other families who are like ours. We are a homeschooling family of 6 who have a special needs son with a genetic disorder. I have started an inspirational blog and would like to expand that into speaking opportunities as well as compile the blog stories into a published book.

How about your personal life? Any specific goals or achievements or dreams you are pursuing (or want to pursue)?: To be a man of integrety, and a follower of Jesus. When it comes to business, I have spent too many years wondering "what if" and placed many ideas on the shelf. I want to break that cycle and do what God has created me to do. A passion for writing and helping families like our own.

What would you say are your strongest talents? How are you 'wired' and what can you offer to the world (it's OK if you don't know yet, but knowing is key to pursuing your dreams!)?: I am a "big ideas" person who juggles multiple projects. I like to create things in my mind and then build them. I am an encourager and delight in inspiring people.

Do you have a website presence anywhere?: http://lessonsfrommatthew.com

If you have a product or service to promote (now or in the near future) this is your shot to state it! Say all you'd like:: I am a scenic/set designer and carpenter...I have been able to combine my creative/design background and mold it together with my construction background. I would like to train other churches how to inspire their own volunteers to create and build their own theme rooms, sets and stage presentations. My neighbors are alway intrigued by what is happening in my shop. 8 ft. ants one week, 10 ft. rockets for a vacation bible school and on it goes. I plan on growing my blog site and turning those posts into a published book. I would also enjoy speaking about our experiences as a family who deals with a special needs child.

Feeling the heat, but not giving in to the burn...

Exactly a week ago I was in the back of an ambulance on the way to the hospital with Isaac. As I was rhythmically squeezing an AMBU bag, continuing to provide oxygen to Isaac’s lungs the EMT with us in the back called in Isaac’s weak vitals and continued prepping him for our arrival at the hospital. Theresa was left behind…a wreck after providing the first 20 minutes of CPR.

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can…

This year Theresa and I celebrated our 21st anniversary in style. We started the day with a doctor's appointment for Isaac and Matthew, a tandem visit to the eye doctor, with Sarah Anne tagging along for the ride. Our romantic stop was to Sandy's Donuts, a West side favorite, to pick up a few of our favorite fried cakes. Sandy's has been a special treat…

I think it is so cool how this 48days community encourages each other, and helps us network...there are a few of us 48dayer's in the GR area, maybe we'll have to have a get together one of these days.

Can't wait to hear from you, my email address is: randell@intentionallegacy.com

Welcome to the group! Lots of nice folks here, lots of inspiration, great ideas and support. Look forward to hearing about progress.

At 9:12am on October 4, 2011, Kim Hall said…: Hi Kevin, It was great getting to chat with you at the WTTB workshop. Joel Boggess, who oversees the Finding Your Voice group and who was my life coach this summer, had asked if I could share the names of a few folks from the workshop, as he was interested in asking a few questions about your experience. I shared your name with him, as I thought you had much of interest to share. Enjoy the conversation!

At 8:39pm on April 28, 2010, Tom Raines said…: Thank you! I have a guy here working on some computer stuff and will see if we can talk one night when it is a little quieter. Look forward to learning those things. I will also spend some time looking up the blog addresses. Look forward to catching up soon!Thanks, Tom

At 2:53pm on April 28, 2010, Tom Raines said…: Hello Kevin, we are both developing this blog thing. I am confused about one thing. Do you see how we can see the blogs of members that have blogs like we do at wordpress? I have opened each persons page in "blogging your passion" and can't see where to go to see this blog or this passion. I got your link off of your forum question but how do we get it from people's pages. I am sure I must be missing something here.
Thanks!

Sounds like you are an example of ONE MORE SERVING

PS Also, if you didn't check out the free e-resource I offer entitled Goal-Setting That Actually Works! ($47 Value) to those who join the REAL Success E-Zine community (also free) at www.liveitforward.com, be sure to do so. I think you'll get a ton out of both resources.
