OCTOBER 1, 2012 begins the testing period for the Mobile Phone Apps I’ve been working on to bring Therapy to the IPhone; to bring what is not seen (true reality – that require faith to see there’s more than meets the eye; an opportunity to look at incredibly private and personal issues like body image [...]

My Mother’s Day plans for this year were no different than they have been in the past two years.  I planned to stay home, not get out of my pajamas, and watch re-runs of Law & Order all day — all plans indicating that this Hallmark Holiday would not look like any of those Hallmark cards [...]

I haven’t written for a while because the trip to Asia took a lot out of me!  But the stories I have to tell! Before I left I prayed for God to put some words on my heart, and the first word that came quickly to mind was flexibility.  I already knew that long flights [...]

This is the edited version of the blog I sent out last night.  Apparently, the tears that were still in my eyes blinded me to all the typos or I simply forgot to use the miracle of spellcheck. I went to a movie with my parents tonight — that seems to be a new American [...]

This is a Salvation Story by my good friend, Al Andrews.  Al is husband, father, counselor, and writer.  These days he is most busy being an entrepreneur of generosity.  He wrote an amazing book entitled, The Boy, The Kite, and The Wind.  The story itself is profound and a good, good read.  The story behind [...]

I lied to a friend of mine this week.  He asked how I was doing and rather than talk about some heartache and struggle, I answered with the favorite Christian f-word, “Fine.”  It’s a tricky question, isn’t it?  My son told me that he recently asked a similar question to someone at the dinner table who proceeded [...]

I have lived by myself for over five years.  I can close my blinds, eat a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey Ice Cream, and watch reality television for hours — and no one will know.  My house is always clean.  I control the temperature in my home, volume on the television, and foods in [...]
