| Article Title :: Just a Typical Teenage Boy |
| |
| Judge not, lest ye be judged. –Matthew 7:1The call was controversial—just as all really close calls in baseball are. Full speed the runner slid home and thinking he had just scored a game-altering run, he stood up only to face the words, “You’re out!”Now you know how it is when you’ve given your all to an effort and you stand up, only to hear the ump say, “You’re out!” Just running for home when the play could be that close takes confidence and determination, not to mention a certain amount of competitiveness that doesn’t just evaporate when you stand up. And it didn’t with this teenager either.Furious, he threw off his helmet and ran over to (read full article) |

I first saw her eyeing a display of candy as she followed her mother and brothers through the store.When this little toddler gazed up at me with her big dark eyes and innocent expression, I couldn't help but smile at her. Then, without hesitation, she gave me one of the widest, brightest, bubbly grins I had ever seen!

Isn't it great to be alive together in such a neat place?"Five years have passed since that exuberant knee-high smile. The picture remains as fresh in my mind as it w (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Lessons Learned Hard |
| |
| Many of us seek consolation in the words of Frank Sinatra, “I did it my way.” I say many of us because I feel this trap has snared more than just me. Oh, it is a trap, alright, a way to defend our defiance, combat accountability, and excuse our own stupidity.Maybe, we don’t even say it aloud if our inflated egos and economic attainments have enabled us to dupe ourselves and fool a few others? Well, wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could learn from the mistakes of others rather than only our own?Scripture says, “There is a way that seems right to a man but the path thereof leads to death and destruction.” The Bible is chucked full of examples of foolish men who lear (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Have You Ever Felt GOD in You? |
| |
| God is the primordial Creative Force that is believed to have created each atom that we see around us. When you sit and muse, have you ever heard a voice inside you talking to you? That is the voice that is in you, whom you may also call GOD.Think logically, if you have heard of the voice of that inner soul in you, who indeed is the never-lying, never-forsaking GOD, then is it JUST NOT possible that you are devoid of even a spark of that Divine Creativity? It definitely isn't! And it is never too late to bring it out.Start with something as small as designing a cookie in a very unique way or icing a cake beautifully or growing blossoms in your garden.

| Article Title :: Pay It Forward |
| |
| My friend Hugh Jeffries died. He was a wealthy man. His wealth was of the kind that you can take with you when you go. I do not know what his tangible estate measures. That is unimportant now. This I do know…his contributions to the lives of others were the true measure of his success and wealth.He was a wise and compassionate man. He offered, in every conversation I had with him, words of encouragement and kindness. When I expressed frustration or anger, he counseled forgiveness and understanding. When I ranted about the mediocrity of people’s lives, he reminded me that every human soul is great and we cannot know the value of another’s daily contribution by their anonymity.

| Article Title :: Humble Riches |
| |
| "We come equipped with everything we need to experience a powerful life full of joy, incredible passion, and profound peace. The difficult part is giving ourselves permission to live it." – Deborah Rosado ShawSummer is a great time to practice slowing down and re-connecting with what you enjoy most in life -- spending time appreciating nature, barbequing with old friends, or expressing yourself through a creative hobby such as painting or gardening. These are what I call the "humble riches" of life. They don't necessarily cost a lot of money but their "bang for your buck" in terms of your quality of life is huge.Often when we think of taking steps to improve our quality of (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Red Ribbon |
| |
| Everyone wants a blue ribbon. Blue. First place. The best. Even kindergarteners want that blue ribbon. In sports, I was never a blue-ribbon person. In a race I was always last. In baseball I was as likely to get hit on the head as to drop the ball. In basketball I was fine as long as there weren’t nine other players on the court with me. Where I got my horrible sports ability, I don’t know, but I got it. And I got it early.During the spring of my kindergarten year, our class had a fieldtrip to a park in a town about 20 miles away. Making that drive now is no big deal, but when you’re six and you’ve lived in a town of 300 all your life, going to a town of a couple (read full article) |
