[October 12, 2026] Today, another of our favorite childhood stories that enthralled us: The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf is a short fable about what… Read More »
[October 11, 2026] As a kid, I was always enthralled by stories. One of my favorites was (and still is) The Ant and The Grasshopper in Aesop’s Fables. I don’t know why I was so attracted to it; I still don’t. As everyone who reads my website articles knows, I use this space to show how to be… Read More »
[October 4, 2026] One of the realities of aging grandparents is that the number of times you will be with them is not a very big number, and that’s if everything goes well.

[October 2, 2026] Sometimes in life, we come across someone who stands out from the crowd, someone who puts himself (or herself) behind the needs of others. I know Father Jim Drucker, a retired Catholic priest, Desert Storm veteran, and Doo-wop radio personality. He is my hero, and I think he could be your hero, as well. A… Read More »

[September 29, 2026] I’m a sucker for a good news dog story. There’s a connection with this one. It involves a man going through an airport checkpoint line when a TSA German Shepherd unexpectedly jumps a barrier to get to him. My first thought was that the Shepherd was going to attack the man, but I was wrong. … Read More »
[September 26, 2026] Occasionally I watch videos of Abolitionist Rising folks who are arguing for the elimination of all abortion, regardless of excuse. I agree with them. Legal arguments to the side, killing the unborn is nothing short of killing, and when done, it is morally wrong. Most Americans reject a total legal ban on abortions, and the… Read More »
[September 23, 2026] Some folks will find a bit of humor in the fact that I did learn some things about manhood while growing up in the South. I gained all this knowledge despite my less-than-stellar school performance. I also had a serious lack of focus on those things that bored me (but were nevertheless important), and I… Read More »
[September 22, 2026] It is the human condition that you must have meaning in your life; for it is that very meaning that sustains you.

[September 20, 2026] Success. One-time, special events are always difficult to pull off. No one knows what to expect; they may not have heard about it. Because they’re unique, they have no experience to rely on. Fortunately, our Spirit of 1776 Commemoration celebrating America’s 250th Birthday was a success. Success is often measured in total attendance and positive… Read More »
