We Are Alive! November 22nd, 2023 Remembering the Old Gateway Days
Back in 1998, I aquired a job with Gateway computers. At the time, they were called Gateway 2000 and they were planning on opening display stores around the country. They recruited me from Best Buy, a summer job I picked up after graduating high school.
I was on LinkedIn and posted about simplifying complex situations, breaking them down into simple components, making the situation plain and discovering the solution without complications.
One of my Gateway alumni saw this post and reached out. He felt the timing of this post was something special, that perhaps this is what he's been looking for. We scheduled a call for today and we ended up video chatting for several hours. We caught up on a lot of topics and both were amazed that it has been 25 years since we first did "cow college" together.
Who knows where this goes, but it was good catching up and establishing a new connection with an old friend.

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin
We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.
No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny
Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.
Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books. I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.

You looked young and handsome then, lol
If you are giving that job opportunity now, will you take up?
Just asking
You looked pretty handsome back then. You are still handsome, no worry :)
I remember you mentioning your Gateway days! That's a great bit of backstory! I also really appreciate how that past experience led to renewing a connection from that time, and possible work! Excellent! And on the topic of simplicity, everything truly great, powerful, and enduring is simple! Simplicity is genius! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
