My family loves to go to Disney world for vacation. I’ve been going there since I was a small child. While the Disney corporation is constantly trying to be on the cutting edge of technology and products, there is something about their Orlando-based park that is a staple to say the least. Every time we…
Over the past several weeks I’ve been growing increasingly aware of a problem in our society. There are women in our world who are devalued and even mistreated just because they are women. There are women who believe that they only hold value for their bodies and the pleasure they give to men with their bodies.
I love Thanksgiving. It’s a great holiday and a wonderful chance to get together with family to give thanks for life’s many blessings. One tradition we have when my wife’s family gets together is to answer the question, What are you thankful for?
Have you ever been caught sleeping when you were supposed to awake? Maybe it was at work and you were just exhausted, so you took a little nap only to be caught by the boss. Maybe it was in class and you just couldn’t stand the lecture so you took a little snooze. Or maybe…
Admittedly I grew up in the era of Sesame Street and Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood. These shows were built around the premise of community and neighbors. Every episode of Mr. Rodgers started the same way.

Admittedly, I’ve never served our country in any military capacity but I have a huge spot in my heart for the men and women who have. I know there are countless thousands of moms, dads, husbands, wives, sons and daughters who have devoted their lives to keeping me free. And I want to say thank…
I’m so excited that the elections are over. And no, it’s not due to the election results. My excitement comes from no longer having to watch the ridiculous, and all too often slanderous, election commercials. I just don’t like to watch people point out the negatives about others instead of sharing what they’ll do to…
Well, it’s Monday again and you know what that mean! Back to the grind. Another day, another dollar is how the old saying goes. But what would happen if every day had a purpose? You know like a special emphasis that would drive us through the day so that we could find meaning in the…
