I think it’s part of the human experience to just go through the motions. It’s really easy to do . . . sort of like the default position on the meter by which we measure life.
You get up at the same time every day. You go to bed at the same time every [...]

When we lived in Little Rock, we had some good friends that truly impacted our thinking related to what we should teach our children to become. We did not have children at the time but loved to hang around couples that did. They had a little girl who was probably 4 or 5 [...]

My family and I just returned from a week at the beach. We’ve been going to Orange Beach, AL for years and I still can’t get comfortable with the fact that I’m going to Alabama for vacation. No offense to any of my readers from Alabama. It’s a fine state, just not the [...]

We don’t say, “I’m genetically pre-disposed to mild depression,” or “I haven’t exercised in a while and I spend a lot of time watching TV,” instead, we say, “I’m disappointed because I don’t make enough money and my boss is mean to me.” And yet, someone in the very same circumstances seems much [...]
