The Master’s Minute – Facing Setbacks

February 1, 2022 by Garrison R. North

As a child, I was always highly active. I liked playing whatever sport was in season at the time, either by myself or with others. I recall many times getting injured during my activities; crashing my bike into the mailbox, being hit in the face with a baseball, getting brush burn from falling on macadam playing football, and many others! Each time an injury would occur, I remember vowing in… Read More

The Master’s Minute – Use the Windshield, Not the Rearview Mirror

January 18, 2022 by Jonathan Thompson

When it comes to picking investments to comprise a portfolio, what method makes the most sense?

The Master’s Minute – Snow and Optimism

January 11, 2022 by Garrison R. North

We recently received our first snow of the season. I am not one to count down to the first snow of the year.

He stared out the window, fascinated by the weather, thinking it was Christmas again already. Later… Read More

The Master’s Minute – Grit – Five Things Worth Fighting For in 2022

January 4, 2022 by Lyle E. Hershey

From time to time, I take a class at the gym called Grit. It’s a half hour of high-intensity interval training (HIIT). It’s called Grit for a reason. Usually after about 10 minutes of the class, my brain is telling me that I really don’t need to be working this hard and it would be fine to stop. Most of the things that have value in our lives are only… Read More

The Master’s Minute – Inflation is Here – What Do I Do?

December 21, 2021 by Garrison R. North

If you have been shopping lately or following the financial headlines, the story of the day continues to be the inflationary pressures on the U.S. economy. November’s inflation increase, known as “Headline CPI” came in at 6.9% year-over-year, which is the highest reading since 1982. Supply and demand pressures, consumer spending, and a job environment where there are more jobs available than workers to fill them are all factors contributing… Read More

The Master’s Minute – The Practice of Being Thankful

November 23, 2021 by Jonathan Thompson

My wife and I have three children, ages 4, 3 and 1. Around this time of year, we start to receive catalogs in the mail filled with pictures of various toys.
