This has been a weekend where we celebrate our freedoms in America. This is happening when we as a country have some fear about losing some of our freedoms. Most of the time we look at our freedoms as the rights we claim as citizens. There is certainly much to celebrate and appreciate as we […]
Happy Father’s Day
I hope all the fathers have had some celebration of who they are to their family this past weekend. So many of us have lost our Dads and miss them terribly, especially on Father’s Day. I think it is important to recognize how significant the impact of a father is to his family. This poem by […]
Reflecting on Memorial Day, 2022
As I watch so many of us celebrating the beginning the summer season I am reminded of the many opportunities and blessings that we have as a nation and as individual families. So many of us are taking time for refreshment and renewal this Memorial Day weekend. We are extremely fortunate to live in a […]
In Light of the Latest Election Do We Assess or Judge?
I believe it is our job as human beings to figure out our mission and decide how we are going to conduct ourselves in the world as it relates to our family, our friends, our colleagues, our communities, our region, state, country.

As I shared my thoughts with friends and colleagues, I received mostly strong opinions that a person […]

It seems like there are so many needs, issues, demands for our time and energy by those around us – kids, family, work, responsibilities around our homes, in groups we are a part of, in meeting our own needs, to […]
Are You a Critical Thinker or a Critical Person?

The press is filled with stories of various crises connected with the pandemic, societal and political unrest, revelations about horrific injustice and inequities that have been overlooked by a large portion of the population, and economic turmoil generating fears about what the future […]
Do You Cherish Freedom?
