I vividly remember back when I was in the Utah National Guard and we were playing basketball at lunchtime in the armory. Being a basketball lover, I had to settle for a game with the “palookas.” (Palooka is the slang name for people who play basketball, but don’t really play basketball and have somehow learned that…
Good question, right? Everyone is so busy nowadays… And, if you don’t appear too busy, they assume something is not quite right with you. Have you ever stopped to ponder why we are so busy? Busy, busy, busy; no time for anything! Is it good to be that busy? Does busy mean we are getting things…
Relationships come in all shapes and sizes (yes, clichés are my life!). Relationships represent one of, if not the greatest, component of our lives.

I was thinking, the other day, about my family and how well we all get along together. I mean we genuinely enjoy each others company! I wondered, “What is it that makes our family sing?” How did we get four children that not only hang out together but even live in the same apartments, with one married…
If you’ve spent any amount of time on Earth, you realize that there are things out there that hold you back. The things you really, really want in your life don’t come easily. It seems the more you want something, the greater the obstacles that stand in the way of you receiving it. So, how…
There is an interesting phenomena that takes place nowadays called living in the future. You begrudgingly go to work all week because you can hardly wait for the weekend, right? (TGIF and everybody’s workin’ for the weekend…) One day, when your ship comes in everything will be okay. Buy the lotto ticket because when you…
