A Jewel

She yearned for time alone with dad. Time to look into eyes that….for so long… were preoccupied with everthing but seeing into hers. Living thousands of miles away, time was drawing short and it seemed that only a miracle could make the time of this trip count. Would HE send an angel to warm the […]

Clayton Kershaw has dominated hitters in the National League for a number of years. When he is on, it’s like watching Sandy Koufax blowing away opponents with baffling curveballs and scintillating four seam fastballs. One wonders if young Ryan will carry on the left handed tradition in the future. It sure looks like he might. […]

My friend suggested a fly fishing lesson when I mentioned that the novice level is where I feel stuck right now. He recommended I call the friendly folks at Alpine Anglers and speak to Darren. The lesson was scheduled and I was happy when Darren seemed to have the patience of Job. He taught me […]

My wife is all excited about visiting Africa. She’s heard that while there, you must visit Capetown, go on safari, and take a scenic river cruise. I hope she can find a friend and that they will have the adventure of their lives. I’ve thought it over and the cruise line’s offer of lunch and […]

No worries

Greg’s sense of self seems like it’s in the top five per cent. His ‘fun factor’ is totally unfazed by this apparent miss. This is not some derisive, self incriminating smile…no way. This is merely a kid who can laugh at himself and move on to the next point. Maybe we could have T-shirts made […]

Oh my!

When you were young…silly fun was the rule of the day. Now that you’re older, you needn’t be colder, bring out those silly bones again. Imagine a group like Publisher’s Clearinghouse is awarding $10,000,000 April 15th. for the most audacious prank…would you be in contention or just sitting on the sidelines? Go for it!

His friends wish he’d have been able too see the sun beyond the clouds…that his melancholy moods could have been bagged up and placed on the curb. It was not to be. Heavy hearts comfort the family. A lesson here for eternity. Believe that the phone call or invite to lunch just might break the […]

The question

Each soul shall walk a path toward the light..escaping the prison walls of the night. With each step there’s an ask to one and all. Will you savor every moment while you await His call?

Clarity is the ability to distance yourself from distractions and pinpoint what matters most. It is seeing your day through a lense not occluded by trivial pursuits. When you look into the mirror at night, clarity means you have devoted a few precious seconds of your day to easing the load of someone who needs […]

Chill

February 22, 2017

Relax. Take a break. Get away to your favorite place where nothing and no one can intrude. Take a few minutes every day. Your own private siesta. No cell phone. Television. Or IPad. No need to hurry here or there. Let the tension fall from you like honey from a beehive. There’ll always be time […]

Never alone

February 17, 2017

In every life there are times when one feels stranded…as if there’s no boat, no oars and no way to get home. That’s what good friends are for. The ones who listen. Without judging. Or condemning. These friends are like gold. A treasure. A lifeline connecting you once more to the you who can withstand […]

It wasn’t there on Saturday. Jane took her daily walk near Breckenridge and stopped to enjoy the brilliant sunset. As she paused for a drink on her favorite bench, she wondered about it…and who had placed it there since the weekend. A small bronze plaque was neatly centered on the back rest. ‘Your love will […]
