An Unusual Christmas Surprise
On Christmas Eve, the family and I went to the local church for the Christmas service. This was a hard time for my wife, as her father had passed shortly after the holidays a few years ago.

Friends
I recently came accross an old saying about friendship. It made me sit back and reflect on all the people who came into my life over the years, and how they affected me one way or another, good or bad. I can’t help but think, it’s really funny how others can influence a person. Negative [...]

Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for [...]
We Must Go Forth
When your days are long and nothing seems to be working, and you just want to give up, you must find it within yourself to carry on. Never give up, never quit, never falter. Just find the courage within your heart, your soul, and your mind to keep your head up, shoulders back and not [...]
The Pink Dress
What can be said about mothers? Sometimes you need their love and support, other times they can drive you half way to the loony bin. Personally, it’s been both ways with me on many occasions. I received a quite the inspirational story some time back from my own mother, which made me stop and wonder… [...]
