So this is how the story goes … There were two sons and their father was an alcoholic.  The one son became an alcoholic just like his father and his life ended in ruin just like his father.  The other son never drank and was a  happy and successful businessman, father and husband. When the first son was asked why he drank too much and his life was falling apart,  he replied, “my father was an alcoholic so what other choice did I have?  I am just like him and what else would you expect from the son...

On this Thankful Thursday as we approach the tenth anniversary of 9/11, there are still no words to really describe the sorrow we all feel for our country and the lives lost that day.  The innocence we lost as a nation and as individuals.  As Winters said on his post, how do you describe and explain such a tragedy to children.

“Wherever you are, be there”! I would love to say that I came up with this clever saying, but I did not. Years ago, my parents took me to hear a motivational speaker named Jim Rohn.   That was a quote he shared that day in Dallas, Texas when I was just a small girl and I have never forgotten it. One of the best ways to experience healthy living is to celebrate where you are.   Be present.  Be in the moment.  Be in the here and now.  I say this a lot I know, but I truly believe it is so...

This time last year, I was driving down the road in Oklahoma and I realized my life looked strangely unfamiliar to me. It was a very difficult time in my life. My future seemed so unclear and uncertainty seemed to loom around me. I must be honest and say that our future still seems unclear and our plans for the future are still rather uncertain.  But we are making our way through the changes as best we can and  with God’s grace we are seeing our way through slowly but surely. As many of you know, in the...
