Author Steve Kubicek, a successful corporate executive, ordained deacon, and inspiring speaker, created the book to show readers how to adopt the Up-and-In point of view—a powerful, transformative, uplifted, inspired mindset that turns down-and-out attitudes upside down. An inventive, inspiring, and invaluable resource, Up and In has garnered high advance praise, including: “one of the most encouraging books that I have read…practical and filled with pearls of wisdom”; “a great personal resource”; “a breath of fresh air.”
A powerful book with a simple premise, Up and In presents a self-guided tour to unlocking potential. Drawing on a wellspring of personal experiences, insights from those who provided inspiration, as well as Biblical wisdom, Kubicek crafted Up and In, an exceptional collection of 42 daily readings designed to inspire, encourage, challenge, renew, and uplift.
With gentle humor, uplifting anecdotes, inspiring quotes, and Scripture woven throughout, Up and In takes readers on a rich, rewarding, and meaningful journey of reflection, discovery, and transformation. Resplendent with simple truths and powerful personal testimony, timeless Scripture and timely insights, Up and In reveals the seven keys to unlocking one’s potential. Moreover, each reading includes a special “Discovering Treasure” recap designed to encourage readers to dig deeper and give thoughtful consideration to the day’s message.
Uplifting and affirming, Up and In addresses such issues as: uncovering true worth and potential; confronting damaging thinking and habits; developing the tools to rebound from setbacks; outlining the path for discovering significance and more.
With the deft touch of a true storyteller and an unmistakable faith, Kubicek created a book that is anything but an ordinary self-help guide: with its conversational, inviting, and warm tone, Up and In is part good friend/ trusted confidant/wise-mentor-in-a-book, part road map to a meaningful life, part inspiring companion—and wholly enriching. Moving and motivational, thoughtful and thought-provoking, Up and In is an extraordinary—and extraordinarily valuable—resource.

A Complete Embarrassment for all of Oklahma
What's on my mind? Well, I'm kinda pissed. The bastard no-good f'ing principal of Prague, Oklahoma High School refuses to give its valedictorian her diploma until she privately apologizes for using the word "hell" (you know, the word that shows up in the Bible several times) in her valedictory speech.
Why am I pissed? Because this so-called "educator" is practicing in my home state and we Okies typically don't put up with that kind of bullshit. Hopefully he's a transplant because if not, that would be even more embarrassing.
I always have the same reaction to anyone who demands an apology (most typically, politicians), specifically, "You're an idiot, and go f' yourself."
In the mid 70's I heard my track coach ask, "What the f' is your problems this year, Wolfe? Your 100-yard dash time has gone to shit!" Didn't phase me a bit, much tamer than my father.
What Principal Dickhead needs is a good old-fashioned Okie invitation to leave, i.e, tie a rope around one of his ankles and drag his sorry ass across the state line with a pickup truck. And thank you for listening. Have a nice day.
p.s., Oh, and check this out, Prague High School is the "Home of the Red Devils." Their mascot is a red devil complete with horns out of the head, arrowed tail and a rather large three-pronged fork. Talk about hypocrisy!
OK, I feel better getting that off my chest. HAPPY TRAILS, EVERYBODY!!!
