Last night, we discussed the way we all love to share our experiences with others… whether that be a good or bad, we share about a movie, restaurant, or friend. For better or worse, there’s something in most of us that desire our story to be shared.
When the internet transformed itself from a static, point [...]
There are more and more appeals from culture and political avenues seeking the public sector to meet the needs of Americans. Whether it’s the victims of the recent natural disasters or local impoverished sectors of communities, it’s the people of these places that are making a difference.

You Can Make a Difference
With the recognizing of 9/11 we can embrace the positive observations of a nation that rallied for together to meed a need. During that moment in time, all politics, all selfish concerns, all notions of family conflict were placed on hold. A nation became one.

The Olympics are upon us… FINALLY!
I love the competition, the drama and the adventure of everything Olympic. It goes back to 1980 and the victory of the US hockey team in the winter games. We were a hockey family and therefore, glued to every victory of the Lake Placid journey towards gold. That’s where it [...]
How many of you have ever been really angry with God?
