    Death of a Business - How to protect your business in the after

    Send your love and comments here! Brendon Greeves, from Boardwalk Bookkeeping at bwalkbooks.com on Ponte Verda Beach in Jacksonville Florida joins me to discuss how he helps business owners prepare and protect their business legacy and longevity through accounting and honest conversations. As business owners you pour your heart and soul into a business. Are you, your partners, and family prepared for how to move forward if you are gone? Do I need a trust? When to start a buy sell agreement? What's a TOD? and other questions answered by our guest. I think the audio may have been cut off. My final question was if Brendon had endured a loss, "what was the most helpful gift/resource for him"?

    It's All Connected: Holy Week, the Passion, and Hospice

    Send your love and comments here! Holy Week - an emotional tumult for Christians when we confront humanities' (our) role in killing an innocent man, mourn a loss, and in the end rejoice in the kept promise and future promise of salvation. In this episode, I expound on an idea that struck me during the reading of the Passion of Christ. How we can have more empathy for loved one choosing hospice. TLDR, no one was ready for Jesus to ACTUALLY die; and we treat our own loved ones with terminal illness similarly. It's scary, and lonely, and they deserve better. When is Hospice the right choice? Is Hospice quitting? Is it wrong to want Hospice instead of treatment? and other palliative care concerns. How do I tell my family I'm dying? The answers may not be here, but there are considerations for everyone Christian and non-Christian about what it means to stand beside someone to the point of death.
