Baseball season is just about here, and in our house that is always a good thing. My family has always loved sports, and baseball in particular has a special place with us. Our boys played for years when they were growing up, and now it is a real joy watching our grandchildren start to pick […]
Sunday afternoons at our house are not quiet. After church, our home slowly begins to fill up. Sometimes it is my mom. Sometimes my sister. Sometimes two or three of our kids when their schedules allow. Occasionally a friend drops by. But there is one group that never misses and is ALWAYS welcome. The GRANDCHILDREN.

I have always loved the ability and privilege to vote in this country. Not casually or passively, I mean I really love it. In college I majored in Political Science with an emphasis on Pre Law. My goal was to work in government in some fashion where I could make a difference. Maybe elected office

There’s nothing quite like watching grandkids open Christmas gifts. The excitement. The squeals. The wrapping paper flying through the air like festive confetti. Within minutes, the living room transforms into what can only be described as a joyful holiday tornado. Bows under the couch, toy pieces in mysterious places, and at least one box that

I only went in for one item. So why is my cart full? There’s something you should know about me. My wife already knows it. My kids know it. Even the people who work at our local hardware store know it. I cannot, and I mean CANNOT, go into our hardware store for just one
