Two of the greatest events in history:

Good Friday – Jesus died to forgive the sins of all who would believe in Him!

The year was 1997. The internet was just coming of age. Interest in the profit potential of web-based businesses was reminiscent of the gold rush in the last century. It was the year that my 12-year-old son, Erich, posted our first web page.…

WWJD – What Would Jesus Do?

Friday, November 3rd, 2017 at 5:25 pm by Dan Musick

Many years ago, I was replacing a gear on a Chamberlain/Liftmaster/Sears opener. I had learned from previous jobs that the top neck of the drive shaft often wears from dried grease. I put two and two together, and I concluded that if I replaced just the gear, I would probably need to return in a few months to replace the drive shaft and another gear because it is not possible to purchase just the drive shaft.…

Business Focus

Over the years, our primary focus has been to honor God by being good stewards of the resources He has provided. Further, this lead us to create a kingdom purpose to help direct our business.

International Door Association Expo 2015 onsite program and event badges.

IDA

While at the International Door Association Expo, I took a lot of pictures and videos I’d hoped to post here, but I discovered on the way out that I was not to publish them.…

DDM Reflects On the Resurrection

Thursday, April 14th, 2011 at 8:15 pm by Dan Musick
