I’m not sure if you can identify this object because it’s rather small. It is one of those plastic, disposable floss units and I see them regularly in parking lots like King Soopers, 24 Hour Fitness, Panera Bread, and Red Robin. In speaking with my wife, she encouraged me to go easy on our fellow […]

It seems my dental hygienist has been encouraging the purchase and use of a Water Pik for at least two years. After two costly crowns and receding gum lines, I figured it just might be a prudent idea. That’s when procrastination’s ugly voice kicked in…’no hurry, you can start after the weekend’. Six weeks later […]

A very young cowboy was watching some terrific tennis from the Miami Open when he remembered a 2:00 meeting was on the agenda. Tanner seemed to be enjoying it too. Now Tanner knows that he’s not to be on the couch…that his portable bed will have to do. I turned the tv off and off […]

Katy Volynets was facing a huge hurdle today in her singles match in Austin. The American was trailing 0-5 in the third set. She remained committed, competed hard for every point, and won the next three games. Katie certainly captured her opponent’s attention when she won the next two games to even the score at […]

Just a science fact to consider…how many galaxies are there in the observable universe? You’d be right if you guessed over a million….and right again if you responded with over 100 million. But, to win the grand prize of a trip to the moon, you’d have to guess 200,000,000,000. Those 11 0’s amount to 200 […]

Spence surely didn’t know what the vet said but Terri’s tears spoke louder than words. Twelve years ago the puppy with the bright eyes and thumping tail was rescued and two lives were transformed. The eyes now told a different story as the pain became unrelenting. It’s a pretty safe bet that those last three […]

One of my tennis students is a physician’s assistant and reported this week on the state of the medical profession as we try to get past Covid. She said that burnout is rampant and that 37% of those in medicine are not renewing their licenses. That’s more than astounding…it’s downright scary.

“It’s incredible to see what the apostle Paul endured for his faith. He was whipped with thirty-nine lashes on five different occasions; he was beaten with a rod three times; he was shipwrecked three times; he was nearly stoned to death; he was deprived of food, clothing, and water. Yet, he declared in Romans 8:18, […]

I’m sure most of the sports tv shows who feature talking heads use the same gimmick…they play nonsense background noise while their heads are giving the highlights or scores for the day. They obviously have studied our human brains to know the noise hooks us like a Rapala fishing lure into continuing to watch this […]

“Good teachers make teaching look easy. Bad ones approach it look like they are haphazardly dissecting a cat. They address every single movement possible and by the time they’re done they’ve taken apart the entire cat. There’s blood and guts everywhere, but where is the cat? Every person comes to the teacher with his own […]

When Abby started playing softball at ten, her face lit up every game day morning…one more chance to enter the circle and dazzle opposing hitters.

A good friend went to the podiatrist recently and was greeted by an exceptionally courteous receptionist named Carol. He felt compelled to brighten her day with a couple of short stories and encouraged her to watch the hilarious video online entitled Cockatoo Loves Elvis. As my friend was saying goodbye, Carol encouraged him by proclaiming…’what […]
