She once believed that a life well lived was chock full of things to do and places to be. As her life had grown more complex, Dawn felt like a hamster clinging to its rapidly spinning wheel. A ten day “vacation” to a monastery seemed like a crazy idea….just crazy enough that she decided to […]

We were one of the host sites for a prestigious, six-state junior tournament held last summer. Returning from lunch on quarterfinals’ day, I asked the site coordinator if everything was running smoothly. Expecting the customary reply of “yes, we’re right on time,” I was surprised when he pulled me aside beyond earshot of players and […]

Bruno hit a glorious five iron that landed twelve feet above the hole on #7 at South Suburban. Slowly, the ball began inching down the slope and we watched in anticipation of his first ever ace. He had to settle for a tap in birdie and now prefers to be called Bubba. The dude can […]

Laughter is a form of inner jogging. It moves your internal organs around. It enhances respiration. It is an igniter of great expectations. You don’t stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing. If something comes to life in others because of you, then you have made an approach to […]

How wise the youngster who savors the sand under his feet and the golden sunrise of the new day. He walks by himself but does not feel alone. Transfixed by the stillness and the beauty around him, the boy dreams of one day taking pictures….photos that would draw others to appreciate the sea, the sun, […]

‘We urgently need people who concentrate on the meaning of life rather than the speed, the mechanization, the computerization of it. The world has been upside down for so long, it is almost impossible to believe anymore that the meaning of life is not about doing. The notion that life is about being—being caring, being […]

It was a steamy afternoon in June when Mark arrived for his first tennis lesson. He had just celebrated his seventh birthday. Mark was proud of his new tennis racquet with the large “W” on the cover. As I headed to the teaching court, his mom applied a liberal dose of sunscreen to Mark’s face. […]

This tree on Crocker Street in Littleton is 130 years old and once stood over sixty feet high. It is reminder that, at some point, life has a way of cutting us down to size. We are forced to change careers or reconsider priorities while holding fast to time tested core values.

A very young cowboy has been to at least five Colorado Rockies games and seen fans hit by foul balls. It’s not very pretty when the person gets nailed as they are talking on their cell phone or discussing yesterday’s lacrosse game with their friend. This picture shows what a stray foul ball (from Carlos […]

A quiet neighborhood is stunned at what took place on Monday afternoon. We pray for those injured and all who knew and loved Doc Ken. His selfless act of heroism is no surprise as his office manager stated after his untimely death. Doc is with his beloved son Taylor and daughter Kendall who showed the […]

Some folks think that angels are just a myth….that they couldn’t actually be in our world or watching over us. Other people keep their eyes open just in case.

A very young cowboy decided to take piano lessons at age thirty-seven. He bought a used piano and practiced religiously much to the chagrin of his less than patient wife. Maybe switching teachers would help the youngster progress faster. Good thought….but JoAnn was just as perplexed as Doris, his first instructor. The coincidence of their […]
