Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Oh, a few days ago, I wasn't feeling the Christmas Spirit. The calendar told me it was early December, but I didn't care much about giving or other’s feelings or well-being. For the lack of a better word, I was a grump. I was far from being...

Each generation has its challenges, unique difficulties and obstacles, shaped by the social, economic, and technological events and phenomenons of their time.

It's my lucky day. By the time most people read this post, I'll be on my way to pick up my youngest son from college. I'll spend most of the day in my car. If I were a wiser man, ruled less by my own heart and emotions, I would've made him take the bus... Continue Reading →
