Are You Cultivating Circumstantial Happiness or Eternal Joy?
“The saints kept Christ in mind continually and were grateful even when circumstances seemed unbearable.”
What quality do some people spend their whole lives looking for, and others dedicate themselves to spreading? Some say happiness, but I say joy. Many people associate joy with happiness, and although they share similar effects, one fundamental difference separates the two. “Happiness” is defined by Merriam-Webster’s dictionary as “feeling pleasure and enjoyment because of your life, situation, etc.” Happiness is dependant upon external variables and can therefore vanish in a moment. For example, a simple smile from a stranger can turn your day around, or your happiness can be replaced with sadness by the evening news. Joy, on the other hand, is a gift given by God. It is a state of the soul. Joy is the effect of believing that God has conquered sin and death, and that He will bring His faithful to Heaven to be with Him for eternity.

Bruce Jenner takes off his cross- and hands it to his children
“…kids sacrifice so that adults can follow their desires.”
If you listen carefully you can hear the collective crack of ulna’s breaking as the self-congratulatory crowd pats themselves on the back over their Tolerance and Acceptance of the transgendered. Big Media, cultural elites, and gollygeewillikers even the White House are falling all over themselves to swoon over Mister Bruce Jenner and his “transition” to womanhood. Some of the adjectives bandied about describing his coming out include “Brave” and “Courageous”, but all I see is a man lifting a life-long burden from his shoulders and placing it squarely (pun intended) on his children. 
“Oh no no no!” you say?
Because you’ve seen nothing but support from his family, right? This despite some of his children refusing to be involved in the reality TV series documenting his “transition”, and a clip of one daughter who, left the room in tears because she was “simply overwhelmed” when Bruce announced his desire to be a woman.
Overwhelmed with joy, of course. Right?
If all…

Why the Underlying Laws of Cloud, Social, and Digital Business Matter
“organizations must rapidly evolve their operating models to adapt to the rules of the digital networks. Some have, but most still have not.”
I’ve spent much of my Memorial Day Holiday here in the United State pondering the Red Queen Effect vs. network effects, seminal laws of technology and business both, that are often held as gospel by their adherents who believe they are the natural and intrinsic properties of their operating environments (digital ecosystems in this case.)
Both hypotheses apply to any connected, relatively closed environment of some kind, which very much includes everything from marketplaces, online communities, app stores, cloud services, SaaS, enterprise social networks, social media, cable/video networks to e-mail, telephones, and package delivery. I cite these, as many of them don’t look at system concepts when trying to figure out why they aren’t succeeding as hoped, despite those very ideas defining the rules of the playing field.
Both Red Queen and network effects have years of rigorous research and thinking to back them up, and as far as…
