Less than a week ago we had a flash flood. It devastated us. Our home is a basement, where all the water pooled. We are very grateful for the help we received from kind and loving friends who came to our immediate rescue. The experience was rough, yet it became a tender example of how well children listen to their...

A point in your life when patience has been used up, long-suffering endured and yet the abuse continues, challenges never cease and the pressure never abates.

The last few days have been some of the most trying and the most miraculous. One of my dear friends was buried yesterday and the world is a lesser place because he isn’t here anymore to give his light to me. I miss him already. I looked over my computers, all with backup systems and external hard drives…and found...

Life has many anomaly moments. In fact , I can almost guarantee you the experience of diametrically opposed perceptions and results. In my own life it seems to be a rule however, not an exception. Focus on another, or just others and give it all you have. Your time, resources, effort, attention, money, name it…and I can...
