I think my dog is part beaver. I have never seen a dog that chews on sticks like this one does. I am confident that he ingests at least five pounds of bark and wood each week. Maybe more! My dog is a golden retriever and his name is Buddy and quite frankly [...]

Have you ever had the experience of listening to a friend and observing how they are struggling with an issue and wanted to help? Then you have lunch with another friend and realize that they are having a very similar issue. In fact, you begin to read the paper and listen to the [...]

A recent Saturday looked something like this: breakfast, soccer game, lunch, errands, another soccer game, yard work at home, dinner, watch a movie, then bed. Everything goes well [...]

I love stories about overnight successes. From out of nowhere, through sheer will, ambition, and intelligence someone makes their dreams come true.
Take Bill Gates. Brilliant young math whiz discovers computer programming. Drops out of Harvard, starts a computer company called Microsoft with a few friends. Before you know it, he builds it into [...]

“When all is said and done, I think most men . . . believe that God put them on the earth to be a good boy. The problem with men, we are told, is that they don’t know how to keep their promises, be spiritual leaders, talk to their wives, or raise their [...]

Don was my favorite uncle — he and my aunt lived in the “big city” (Houston, TX). He had a pool table, a hot tub, cable TV, and pictures of those dogs playing poker. Oh yeah, the best part was the Blue Bell Cookies and Cream. This was before it was available outside of [...]

It’s no secret that the last 12 months have been a roller coaster of presidential elections, stock market tumbles, foreclosures, unemployment, and bailouts. We’re in unprecedented economic times for many of us. I’m in my mid-30’s and have never seen such a string of bad news.
It’s so bad, that about 9 months [...]
