It was one of those moments when you are overwhelmed with the feeling of being blessed. It was a Saturday afternoon and I was raking leaves on the front lawn. Their colors—-yellow, red, and orange—-blended together perfectly. I marveled at the colors , and then I looked up and saw my two –year-old daughter’s face […]

Journaling is for introspective folks who have nothing better to do. What if you had something to say that could jar the […]

They are easy to spot….easy on the eyes….these flow masters. Federer, Sorenstam, Ken Griffey, Jr.. Like a stream that flows gently to the sea their timing is impeccable…their rhythm mesmerizing. We would do well to follow the golf pros of yesteryear. When the legendary Sam Snead was on the driving range, fellow pros would stop […]

“I tell of hearts and souls and dances… Butterflies and second chances; Desperate ones and dreamers bound, Seeking life from barren ground, Who suffer on in earthly fate The bitter pain of agony hate, Might but they stop and here forgive Would break the bonds to breathe and live And find that God in goodness […]
