I can’t believe all of the different things that this inauguration appears to mean to each person that i talk to or read about. Some people are moved to tears by the inspiration of it all. Some people are in awe of the historical nature. For others it is more personal; they have invested so [...]

It is a historical moment in time, this presidential inauguration of 2009; just like every other presidential inauguration since the beginning of the United States. Yet, this one feels different. It feels as though this particular inauguration is getting more attention than any other one, in my memory. I did not personally vote [...]

Today is a life affirming day of recognition….it is the Sanctity of Life Sunday…a day when most churches and individuals choose to celebrate life and inspire individuals to cherish & protect it.

This week we celebrated two very special things here in the United States: one was Monday, November 10th which was the Marine Corps Birthday…and yesterday, which was Veteran’s Day.

How many of you have ever had knowledge of an emergency situation where someone is bleeding profusely? Emergency training teaches to apply pressure; or, to use a tourniquiet to temporarily stop the blood loss. It is no different with our financial crisis; yet, apparently in a move that goes against common sense…we are bleeding green…sending [...]

September 11th used to be just another day. Then, it became my son’s brother’s birthday. Nine years later…September 11th became something else. September 11th, 2001 became the day of the destruction of American innocence. It became a day controlled by terrorists and their plot of destruction. It became a day of horror and fear. [...]

What are your thoughts on a person who has worked hard to earn a law license; who then, down the road faced multiple felony charges against them? Should they be able to retain their law license, while the legal process weaves itself through the system, if they agree to some kind of a deal with [...]
