Friends

I flew to Calgary, Alberta Friday afternoon and went to the ordination service of my friend Eddie. The service was very good as one would expect from an ordination service.

For me it was very good to see many friends from the past and to get reacquainted with so many people. I was only in Calgary less than a day but saw so many good friends.

Calgary as usual in June is beautiful! Everything was very green and the air was crisp and clean. My hotel room faced the Calgary Olympic Park, ski jumps and ski hill. Very nice!

Wish I had more than just a dozen waking hours to spend with my friends, but it was great to get at least that much time.

Dreams I Never Had

Jake Rinard — Sun, 30 May 2010 00:52:43 +0000

It has been a difficult 6 weeks or so. Definitely not something anyone could plan for and for sure not something you would wish on anyone else. Losing a baby is not something I could fathom before now, and hope to never feel again.

Day by day my emotions change. In fact you never know from minute to minute what I may be feeling. Sorry for Marsha, but she is stuck with me and my ways.

We are choosing to move ahead, and remember the good times. We don’t ever want to forget our little son, John Carter Rinard. He was so beautiful and so desired. I doubt a person could ever be wanted more than my son.

I long for the day to hold him, and I long for the days of dreaming about what he will be when he grows up. I miss the planning that I did, where Phil and I would take little Johnny camping and teach him how to fish.

You see, we had plans, we had dreams. What I am living was never part of those dreams.

I am definitely living a life I never wanted to dream.

When the Cows Come Home

Jake Rinard — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 03:38:03 +0000

As you can see I have updated the website that past 30 or so days. I do expect to finalize the major changes soon and then it will only be minor updates.

I hope you like what has changed. I have tried to get a format that is easy to get the information my fans need. Yes I wrote fans, that is you!

When I am finished with the main updates I will most likely delete previous posts and comments. The reason for this is the drastic change in the site format and goals of the site. The previous content does not fit.

Please visit the other external sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr. Exciting things to come!

Changes

Hopping the World

Jake Rinard — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:07:56 +0000

I have been told that I am not updating enough. Of course it has been well over a month since my last update. Time is going so fast and I have been traveling a bunch these days. This month I believe I will be on the road over 23 days.

I have spent most of the time in Houston, a bit of time in Dallas / Fort Worth, and will also do a week or so in Libya/ London/ Spain for some international work I am doing. Life moves quickly when you are traveling, but it is also gets pretty old.

Big things happening as always~!

ABC’s – Another Baby Coming

Jake Rinard — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 21:16:32 +0000

The past few months have been very busy. I have been developing business in Texas while doing a lot of work in California. It has been fun and time is flying by!

On the home front the family is doing well. I do have some very exciting news! The Rinard Family is growing! We are expecting another baby! It is still very early as my wife is 9 weeks pregnant and will be due at the end of April. We are very excited!

I have added the Twitter to JakeRinard.com as well as a link to Facebook. I update these more often and this way you can stay up to date.

Feels like Home

Jake Rinard — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 17:39:42 +0000

Ontario is beginning to feel like home. I love Southern California and the Inland Empire. It feels like coming back home after a long trip. The people are great, the selection of restaurants, shopping, and everything else is as good as it gets!

I love being back home!

Yes, I know. I definitely know that my posting has been miserable. Life as you know is crazy and can keep you going. Even as hard as I fight it pulls me in all directions.

Life is fun that way. I am in Houston today/tomorrow then off to LA on Monday. It is nice to be home. A Realtor just called and we have to get out of the house in a little over an hour for a showing.

Oh an offer would be good. We have the house priced right and it is probably the best for the money. we have upgraded it and made it beautiful. Realtors comments that Marsha must be a professional interior decorator. She is amazing for sure!

So it should sell, I just hope that is is soon.

Letter to President Bush His Last Day in Office

Jake Rinard — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 21:08:30 +0000

Dear President Bush,
Today is your last day in office. I wanted to say thank you. There has been no president that has served his country in a time like the one you have served. While I understand no one can be perfect all the time you always tried to do what was best for the USA even if it wasn’t popular.

I can appreciate that you stuck to your guns. You did what you felt was the right thing to do. That is admirable and for that you deserve our full respect.

I wish you could have accomplished what you intended to accomplish but everything changed on September 11th and your leadership was amazing. You did an excellent job those days after the terrorist attacks on our soil. Your reassuring leadership during rough times was what we needed.

I want to say thank you once again. I respect you and your family. Thank you for 8 years of your life.

Politicians: 1 Way to Win : Vision

Jake Rinard — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:28:00 +0000

Politicians these days have it all wrong. We don’t need finger pointing. We need results. We will leave the pointing to the historians. I need to know how we are going to make this world a better place.

Give me your plan and let me decide. I want Senator Obama and Senator McCain to lay out their plans. Point by point. It doesn’t need to be hundreds of pages. Give me your ideas or what I would call your philosophy of government.

What will guide your decisions, how you will act, and let me decide. I do think your past will dictate how you will respond in the future so we do need to see your voting record. If you don’t have a voting record, then show me what you have done in business, at church, with your family, and elsewhere.

Both politicians running for president should take 15 minutes or so and lay out their vision for America. I don’t want to hear 1 word about the other guy. Just layout your easy to follow plan. Share your heart, don’t politicize it but let us see who you are. If you are running for president you must think you have good ideas, so tell us them. If they are good you will win.

Simple as that. Lay out your vision, and people will get on board.
