February 7th: Breaking the code
On the Southwest flight from LA to Denver I sat next to a young mother, about twenty seven years old, and her adorable, blonde twenty-month old son. It was emotional for me, as you can imagine. As soon as I sat down she said, “I apologize in advance.” I looked confused and asked her [...]

The hour we spent watching the program was filled with all the ooohs and aaaaahs that images from that part of [...]
February 1st: Tolerance vs. Love
I was reminded of something today that first came to my attention about a year and a half ago and then got put on the back burner… til this afternoon. It came from a wonderful little sermon I heard when we were living in Malibu. It was about tolerance and love. The message was [...]
