Men, what do you think of when you hear the word “legacy”?
If you’re like me, you’ve cringed at the thought of not being able to leave your family a larger estate at the end of life’s journey. Let’s face it: we usually associate “legacy” with fame and fortune, clout and capital. Memorial tributes to [...]
When is the last time God woke you up to teach you a lesson? It happened to me on a recent Sunday morning, when I was uncharacteristically wide-eyed at 5 o’clock.
I slipped downstairs, knowing my family would sleep for another three hours before beginning the weekly, pre-church bathroom battle. (The only male in my household [...]
I once read the following joke:
Mother’s Day: A time to honor and cherish women for being wonderful moms.
Father’s Day: A time to beat up men for being lousy dads.
Funny? Sure. True in most churches? Unfortunately. Ouch!

I read recently that doctors have identified some 2,000 “phobias,” or irrational fears.

You’ve probably noticed in recent years the restaurant term “waiter/waitress” [...]

I sat glued to the TV today – along with tens of millions of Americans who didn’t brave the DC cold – as Barack Obama took the oath of office as our nation’s 44th president. Whether I voted for Mr. Obama was immaterial; in fact, as far as I was concerned, his race didn’t matter, [...]
