Change is difficult. It does not matter if it is good change or bad change. It does not matter if it is change that you want to happen or change that you do not want to happen. The fact of the matter is that change is hard. I have been talking with a friend about [...]

Yesterday, we at Wyoming Avenue Church of Christ were blessed to hear a sermon from Terrance McClain entitled The Power of the Dream. The gist of the sermon seemed to be that if you can still breathe, then you are alive, and there still something for you to do. He talked about people who had [...]

Years ago when I was taking a marriage class, we studied the book The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. I thought that the book made some good points, and I also believed that it could be beneficial to not only people in marital or romantic relationships, but to everyone. According to the book, The [...]

Today, while I was at home brushing my teeth, I heard a noise outside my door. I could not figure out for the life of me what it was, so I went to look. Why did I see a woman standing outside my door moving around? I stepped back a second while I contemplated opening [...]

I LOVE POPCORN! I do not mean the prepackaged microwave stuff. I buy kernels to pop in my Stir Crazy, my air popper, or in the microwave using a paper bag. I also mix my own seasonings. I usually eat popcorn at least two to three times per week. Nevertheless, today, I ate popcorn for [...]

I have never been a Wendy Williams fan, and there is not much substance to this interview. Still, we all know that I love Raven. Plus, Raven was so cute on this visit to the show. This is worth a watch for her fans.

I think that I can safely say that I will not be attending Arts, Beats, & Eats again. This event, touted as “outstanding family entertainment at a very low cost” on its own web site, was mostly a disappointment.

There is nothing like a power outage to help you realize just how digital your life is. We had a few really bad storms today, and I lost my power. I do not use my lights much during the day anyway, but it was already pretty dark because of the storm in the first place.

I previously mentioned that my niece is graduating from high school this year. With the coming of the end of the school year, there are a host of ceremonies and banquets that students like my niece get to attend in honor of their achievements. In the past week and a half, my niece has attended [...]

…because you can do that more easily now in Michigan! When I arrived at work yesterday, I was confused about why so many people were smoking so far away from the building’s entrance. Usually when I go into work, there is a group of smokers so close to the door that it is impossible to [...]

In the past couple of years, I have been trying to be more conscious of what is going on in the world around me. I have resorted to occasionally reading articles from what some deem as “news for idiots”–USA Today and my local papers. I get tired of always reading tragic and sad stories, though. [...]

My eldest nephew turned fifteen today. Wow! Where did the time go. As if that is not enough, my eldest niece is turning eighteen this year, graduating from high school, and going to college in the fall, quite likely to my alma mater. You know that you are getting old when children that you saw [...]

When I was younger, I used to chew my tongue regularly. It is not quite as gross as it sounds. It is more like a repeated grazing of the teeth up against the sides of the tongue. It does not hurt or anything like that. I am usually doing something else and thinking about something [...]

I wore my college class ring for the first time in years today. I do not think that I have worn it since shortly after graduating from graduate school. I was compelled to wear the ring after randomly thinking about class rings this weekend. At that point, I realized that my parents spent a good [...]

Another great has left us with sad hearts and empty ears. Teddy Pendergrass passed away yesterday. With a voice that would bring a girl to her knees and an unmatched contribution to music, he will surely be missed.
