August 20, 2020 Radical Surrender! I was probably 10 or 12 years old when another boy tackled me in the front yard across from where my family lived. Tackling one another is not all that unusual for young boys. However, he did not start out to tackle me. He started by getting in my face; […]

July 2, 2020 Nothing’s Normal Now! I hear a lot of people talking about adjusting to the “new normal.” Some refer to the “new normal” with a healthy dose of humor while others address the subject with great dread.
