Tuesday, July 4th, 2017 is the day I lost my oldest and dearest friend. Edwin A. Dorsey, my father passed away and my world has been a little darker ever since. I do take great joy and comfort in the fact that exactly at 12:15 pm, he was instantly reunited with my mother who recently … Continue reading My Best Friend

Here and Now
All we really have, is that moment that's happening now. Right here, right now. The promise of growing old and having a lifetime of memories to look back on, for some, is an empty, unrelentingly cruel lie. A systematic elimination of memory after memory slowly erodes into a great void for that person who desperately … Continue reading Here and Now

Life Lesson Series – Music and Dancing
This may be the most personal post I have in this series of Life Lessons and I probably won't do justice to how important these two things have been to our family over the years.

Why bother?
The longer I live the more I find myself asking the question...Why? Why do Cub fans get excited every spring and think that yes, finally, this is their year?

A Study of Joseph – Follow Up to Meant for Evil
In looking again at my post Meant for Evil, I felt compelled to make a couple more observations. Again, this passage of scripture is Genesis 37:12-36. Principles 1. It's important to be in touch with our children's feelings. 2. We must not allow self-obsession to cause us to put our children on a performance standard. … Continue reading A Study of Joseph – Follow Up to Meant for Evil

It’s Christmas Time!!
I love this time of year because it always takes me back to when I was a kid. Growing up in Marietta, Georgia was so much fun, especially around Christmas. Marietta was not the biggest town on the map but it played big every Christmas or that's at least how I remember it! Outside of … Continue reading It’s Christmas Time!!
