Destiny

April 29, 2022

We were at the tennis club when a front desk team member alerted my wife to a phone call placed on hold for her. I thought that was a bit odd and wondered who’d be trying to reach her there. She spoke for just a minute and then turned with a huge smile on her […]

Vitality

April 27, 2022

It’s refreshing to see how many seniors are working out regularly at the gym. I look around and think of 86 year old pro golfer Gary Player.  A fitness fanatic from his early days, his regimen has paid huge dividends as he looks and acts twelve years younger. Use it or lose it…check out this […]

Jasper

April 27, 2022

We heard that Jasper was the pick of the litter and that he had a few peculiarities. Many Labradoodles, we understand, walk to the beat of their own drummer. Let’s take his eating style for starters. We were instructed to take a third of a cup and poor it into a plastic bottle. Step two […]

Kindness

April 24, 2022

“Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” Desmond Tutu

The Greatest Ever

April 17, 2022

The power and promise of another Monday is just a drop in the bucket compared to the love and saving grace of last Friday. Nothing…no inhumanity, no brutality could keep Him down. May we always remember.

Gifts of The Heart

April 14, 2022

“Each of us in our lives experiences things that cause pain. I call them wounds of the heart. If you ignore them, they won’t heal. But sometimes when our hearts are wounded that’s when they are open. Frequently it is the wounds of the heart that gives us the greatest opportunity to grow. Difficult situations. […]

Peace

April 13, 2022

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”   Jesus of Nazareth

Eureka

March 28, 2022

They were numbers 94 thru 97 and I was grateful that the trash man picked them up today. Who knows, maybe he’s a golfer and will have fewer three putts with them than I did. It’s a relief to know that not another dollar will be wasted on a new and quirky putter or another […]

Gratitude

“Find magic in the little things, and the big things you always expected will start to show up.” Isa Zapata

Devotion

Validation

March 28, 2022

“Listening to the siren song of more, we are deaf to the still small voice waiting in our soul to whisper, ‘You’re enough‘. Julia Cameron

Scream fest

March 24, 2022

Aryna Sabalenka has reached a world ranking as high as number two. She hits the ball like Ivan Lendl on steroids. She’s trying to get beyond a case of the yips on her serve. My hope is that after fixing that issue, she works on toning down her trapped mountain lion scream every time she […]

I’m possible

March 22, 2022

‘Impossible situations perfectly position you to see God move in a way only He can move.’ Joby Martin

Call the Doctor

March 22, 2022

An older, somewhat wiser man left golf behind six years ago saying…’Enough, I’d rather die of natural causes.’ I read a quote this week attributed to Matt Chandler who’d call temper outbursts like Kyrgios and Djokovic’s as ‘one more lap around the cul-de-sac of stupidity.’ Very creative indeed…wish I’d thought of that.

Hope

March 21, 2022

A recent March snowstorm deposited up to six inches of snow in Denver. It leveled the nine foot tall native grasses in our front yard. A person unfamiliar with these grasses might conclude that they are ruined, down for the count, and never to rise again.  Shucks, they were toppled from nine feet high to […]

Diners beware

March 18, 2022

‘What a beautiful idea…Restaurant Week.’ That’s the comment made in the car tonight on the thirty minute drive downtown. Scores of restaurants offer special deals to diners and it is a real win-win. That is unless you make reservations at  LUCA   on 7th. avenue.. You see, they have a big problem with their systems. […]

One scary hombre

March 18, 2022

More than sixty years ago, a group of young boys were hoodwinked. Yeppers…we actually believed that professional wrestling was legitimate. Four of us would gather down the street on Saturday nights to view the action. We loved the names and the characters that put on such a display of wrestling prowess. Our two favorites were […]
