Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
It was the first semester of my freshman year in college. I lived a couple of hours away from home and was loving my independence, until an incident occurred that made me feel completely out of control. I was visiting a family member of a friend, the relative was much older than we were, and... Continue Reading →
Recently I was on the phone with our daughter Jessica, who lives in Maine and is attending Midwifery school, a three-year program that will allow her to be a certified professional Midwife.

So we... Continue Reading →
https://youtu.be/uSXWadIWN38 Want by Birdtalker Have you heard of Birdtalker? Nashville group that I cannot get enough of these days. They record themselves doing one-shot performances and this one is my favorite so far because of their pure sound and the lyrics. Notice the guy with long hair as he sings; typically he is the lead... Continue Reading →
On a plane recently the flight attendant announced that it was time to place our phones into airplane mode while we were about to take off. Immediately I remembered an important email that had to be sent, couldn’t wait the three plus hours until I had another opportunity. I tried to shoot off a quick note, but... Continue Reading →
