Religion and faith gets all tangled up in the personal desires and public demands. But sometimes we need a reminder what it’s really about.
Chuck Brodsky, a folksinger (that usually specializes in BaseBall songs) gives us a brief history of the Bible in the form of a spoken word poem. I don’t think he’ll mind me […]
I got an email the other day from my wife, who got it from Cheryl. It’s more interesting than most email forwards, and I enjoyed it enough, I thought I’d share it with the world, with links to clarify some of the items. If you give it a try too, be sure to add a […]

One of my regularly read blogs, Oh My Stinking Heck, and part of why I started blogging about being a parent, husband, and handyman has a great article on the power of words. How much what we say truly impacts those around us.
