Hi there, I'm Andrew Alpaugh and welcome to my blog. Today I want to talk about a topic that is very important to me: respecting people. Respect is something that we all need and deserve, but sometimes we forget to show it to others. In this blog post, I will share some tips on how to respect people in different situations and why it matters for your personal and professional growth.

Respecting people means treating them with dignity, kindness, and consideration. It also means acknowledging their opinions, feelings, and preferences, even if they are different from yours. Respect is not only a moral duty, but also a smart strategy for building trust and rapport with others.

Here are some ways you can show respect to people:

- Listen actively and attentively when they speak. Don't interrupt, judge, or criticize them. Try to understand their perspective and empathize with their emotions.
- Use polite and courteous language when you communicate with them. Say please, thank you, excuse me, and sorry when appropriate. Avoid using harsh or offensive words that might hurt their feelings or damage their reputation.
- Appreciate their contributions and achievements. Recognize their efforts and skills and give them positive feedback. Express gratitude for their help and support. Celebrate their successes and encourage them to pursue their goals.
- Respect their boundaries and privacy. Don't invade their personal space or touch them without their consent. Don't ask them intrusive or inappropriate questions or share their secrets with others. Respect their choices and decisions and don't pressure them to do something they don't want to do.
- Be honest and reliable with them. Don't lie, cheat, or betray them. Keep your promises and commitments and don't let them down. Admit your mistakes and apologize when you are wrong. Be accountable for your actions and words.

By respecting people, you will not only make them feel valued and respected, but also improve your own self-esteem and confidence. You will also create a positive impression on others and attract more opportunities and relationships in your life.

Thanksgiving at Dollywood

We had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving in the Smokey Mountains! Hopefully good memories our children will cherish when they are grown. We managed to pull off cooking dinner in about a 4x5 foot space called the kitchen! It all turned out and everything was delicious! The kids shot some hoops and Bryson had a good ol' time just running around and picking up leaves while we waited for the Turkey to get done. Later that evening after Bryson was in bed we played a game of Cranium. The front desk had games that you could check out. Definitely not a game I would care to play again! The day after Thanksgiving we headed over to Dollywood. The weather was gorgeous and could not have been more perfect. Bryson was in awe at all the lights when it started to get dark. I think the first time ever he has actually sat in his stroller for a whole day without fussing to get out. There was lots to look at and it kept him busy thank goodness. After that we headed back to our condo to e...

Trisomy 13 - Dignity and Grace in Life and Death

On September 14, 2001 Andrew and I found out we were expecting our 3rd baby. We had done this twice before and I was not that concerned or anxious to get to the Dr. right away. We were very excited even though we had not actually "tried" to conceive. We had also decided we would keep it a secret as long as possible! :) Love to keep a good secret! On October 31st we had our first ultrasound and discovered that our baby had markers for a chromosomal disorder as well as tachycardia. Devastated at hearing this we shed lots of tears and I experienced a lot of worry, anger, and fear at what lied ahead of us. I prayed many times that if the Lord was going to give us a baby that would not live that He would just go ahead and take it from us right then. On November 23rd, I began spotting and cramping but since it was Thanksgiving weekend we waited til the following Monday to go to the Dr. where we found out that there was no heart beat and our baby was resting safely in the arms of Je...
