Re-energize is the word of the day. How many have ever taken a vacation and when you returned to work, you felt like you needed a vacation to rest from your vacation? The very purpose of a vacation is a type of a sabbatical. The main purpose is to […]
Selflessness!
When my youngest daughter Hunter was turning nine years old she surprised Starla and me. She told us for her birthday, instead of giving her gifts, she wanted to use the money that we would have spent and use it to make lunches for the homeless. So that’s exactly what […]
Don’t Assume!
I’ve made many innocent blunders in my life. The one I’m going to tell you about ranks up there with the best, or maybe I should say, the worst of them. Starla and I had gone to the hospital to visit a family whose newborn was having a heart procedure. […]

The best part of waking up….
