Today’s post is personal.
This picture has been in my wallet for 43 years.
It was in the local news paper announcing Kathy’s engagement to me, back in 1971.
Today we celebrate 43 years of marriage.

Happy 43rd, Kathy; I love you!

It was on a Sunday morning. over 2,000 years ago, when an angel uttered those three words: He Is Risen!
This coming Sunday believers around the world celebrate the cornerstone of Christianity: the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Once again, as in the past, for this week leading up to Easter 2014, I have some

Be yourself. Books are written about it. Methods are taught about it. Many self help speeches include something about it.
It seems logical to me that if I’m going to be true to myself, I need to know who I am, right? Okay, let’s pause here for a second.
Who do you think you are? Some people are miserable because they just can’t
