More to Life than Football

I just read an article about Aaron Kampman, the NFC's leading sacker (for the non-football savvy it means he took down more quarterbacks holding footballs than anyone else last year). It turns out he's a Christian, and he and his wife love helping others. After football they hope to, "help people and bring reconciliation to hurting people around the world."


How great is that! Last year he signed a $21 million contract extention to play 4 more years of football for the Packers, yet he's level-headed enough to not want to buy everything he wants. "If I want my sons to learn not to have this instant gratification thing, then they can't see me go out and buy whatever I want whenever I think I need something. Those are the types of lessons my parents helped me understand."


He's got a lot more to say, but you'll have to read it on the Iowa City Press-Citizen's website: http://www.hawkcentral.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070729/HAWKS0104/707290320/1058

Success with Kids

Rhonda Anderson, co-founder of Creative Memories, began her business when her kids were ages newborn, 2, 4, and 6. She homeschooled her children for a number of years, never let them watch network TV, and yet still found time to create a successful business. She had a couple of secrets.

  • Allow the kids to watch preapproved videos

  • Do a little bit every day

  • Don't watch TV

  • Schedule business time every day




It's not a complicated list, but anyone can make a little extra time by following Rhonda's lead.
