The logo has been finalized!!!



I know I never post on here, and the last time I did it was about Logo's...Since I found my logo I though I should post it, that way I have a logo to show people. Why would I do this instead of showing people my site? Because sometimes the site is down, or sometimes (like now) we may be using a varieation of the logo color due to the template. Once we customize the template color we will be able to put the official logo back up. However, that is not right now, and we like to show people the official logo, so without further ado, here it is!

P.S. You can visit my site by clicking on the link below: myChristianConnection.org

Education vs. College drop-outs...

I had a discussion a while back with someone (who shall remain nameless) about the importance of education. Actually I have had lots of discussions with pro-education people including teachers and non-teachers. My view is one that education and degree's are worth much less than people value them, and definitely worth much less than people pay for them (both financially and time wise). Since that discussion (Thanksgiving time I believe) I have listen to several other people comment on the subject bothDave Ramsey and Dan Miller (p.s. these are not links to articles, rather just there websites), but I really felt the need to blog about it when I found this article on Entrepreneur.com. I have cut and pasted a small portion of the three page article (mostly because this was the only part relevant to our discussion). Here it is:

What essential characteristics do America's wealthiest entrepreneurs share? More important, how can you, too, develop these qualities? Read on to find out how to think like the entrepreneurial elite.

The wealthiest entrepreneurs share some common characteristics, according to a 2007 study on affluence in the U.S. from American Express Publishing and The Harrison Group. Researchers looked at the top half of the top 1 percent of America's wealthiest individuals--those who have assets of $5 million and above. (The sampling was representative of the top 600,000 households in the U.S., whose mean value of household assets is $30.6 million.) Within this data set, they compared entrepreneurs with non-entrepreneurs. Among the findings:

* Entrepreneurs are less likely to be college graduates than non-entrepreneurs.
* They are more likely to attribute their success to determination, while non-entrepreneurs credit intelligence and education.

Anyway, I thought that this would bring more perspective to the debate. And now I would like to hear your responses.
