There is no reason...and no room...for the two parents of any family to discredit or attempt to destroy each other; that's stupid.

“Your Mother is Deranged!”
Today, I’m hearing….
To define an exact location, measurements are made from 3 known positions. To make a point, one sometimes has to come at it from 3 directions, or give it three tries . . .but do so with patience. It's triangulation...not strangulation. When you're given the go-ahead, you have to run with it. Judgement and analysis …
On Fire at the Big Dance
I watched the second half of two NCAA Tournament games last night. The commentators will tell you what they saw. This is what I saw. UMBC was not playing the first game of their agenda; they were 100% Present. Sorry, I'm mixing my metaphors but they both apply. Virginia players couldn't understand why things weren't …
Where is the Love?
I have been participating in a conversation...sort of. There is one group who is in the process of defining 'who they are' by defining their tenets (principles, beliefs, doctrine, ...) especially the origins of their beliefs...where they are from. This 'conversation' has been taking place online which means one never knows who is listening...who else …
Here’s some of what I’m hearing . . .
Arguing your point is not nearly as effective as enabling them to hear the truth for themselves; Expend your energy helping them to clean out their ears. Why do we fear that the truth they will hear is something we need to control? It doesn't matter what school of thought you hail from; what matters …
“That’s what spring is about”
It's Spring....which around here means spring practice for the Clemson football team. News from the practice field keep us up on how certain players are progressing. Right now there is a lot of competition for the position of quarterback. The only way to determine who is the best of these competitors is through trials. Coaches …
How does God’s Garden Grow?
This is a response to some concerns posed about my previous post, I Asked for This Suffering. My friend said that he was wondering about my implying that God would be proud of Adam and Eve for eating of the tree. He added that "it would seem too much like "an evil game or ploy" …
The Last Amendment
I have the right to love you and you cannot stop me. This applies to enemies as well as family members. A beloved family member has chosen to declare that I am no longer a part of his life. I understand why. It stems from his very early childhood ... a time that was overwhelming …
Under the Lights
No matter how much you practice and prepare, no matter how many promises you make to yourself or affirmations you recite, it's different under the lights. It just is. This command which I enjoin on you today is not too mysterious and remote for you. It is not up in the sky ... nor is …
Last year’s Loss and this year’s Lent
Dabo Swinney, most beloved inspirational speaker, occasionally has to remind his players, coaches, fans, and perhaps even himself that G-d teaches us through losses as much as if not more than wins. A powerful loss presents the most effective teaching moment there is. When we are suddenly shaken by an unexpected outcome or heartbreaking event, …
