Reading
From the time I was a little boy, I loved to read. Reading books took me on great adventures and opened my mind to endless creative possibilities. Still to this day my desire to read remains. Many people consider my way to be old-fashioned, but I do what works for me. I average a book a week across all genres. I encourage you to take up the habit of reading. I believe it will be of great benefit to you…

A Thanksgiving Message
Today, in the United States we celebrate Thanksgiving. I believe we should show gratitude to our Creator every day, not just once per year. If you are reading this, take a moment to thank Him for your mind, then add your family, friends, fresh air and food. Let your list continue to grow…
Here They Come
It’s that time of year again. Time for the Hallmark movies. You know the story…perfect family living in a perfect home in a perfect neighborhood. Even their dog is perfect! Suddenly, strife hits. The family bends but doesn’t break. Everything gets restored to normal and they live happily ever after…
Life isn’t a Hallmark movie. Life is hard. Do not fall into the trap of comparing your life to a Hallmark movie. It will rob you of the moments of joy life holds for you…
