Enough is enough

No excuses

February 16, 2018

“Hard-fought, dragged out tennis matches often become stressful. We want to win but fear we might not. One means of escaping the pressure to win is by making excuses. As bad as losing is, it doesn’t seem so bad if it’s not our fault. If you feel an excuse coming on, bite your lip, and […]

Appalling Tyler Tannahill

February 16, 2018

Can you say crazy? I am not making this up. Even after the tragedy in Florida, a man running for Congress in Kansas is promoting his campaign with a drawing for an AR-15 Massacre Weapon.

Contentment

February 16, 2018

There are some people…you probably know a few, who can go with the flow more easily than most. They seem to have a God given ability to treat the ever changing currents of life as if they were coasting slowly along the lazy river at a water park. Oh…to be one of those fortunate souls.

Fear factor

Defensive assistance

February 11, 2018

Elfrid Payton played well in a loss vs. The Denver Nuggets last night. The Denver players did have a significant advantage although playing away from home.
