It’s been a while since I posted anything regarding my beliefs.  By and large I have really tried hard lately to be supportive and understanding of my fellow man’s need for intervention by a higher power.  I don’t like it when that desire crashes headlong into my day, but I try not to get mad over it anymore.  It’s a losing battle.  That’s the way you start to think when you get older and (hopefully) wiser.     Normally...

Throughout the course of my life I have met some extremely colorful characters.  I have a large circle of people who I am happy to call friends.  I have a lot of clients that I work for that I don’t really consider friends.  I want to tell you about a couple that fall into the former group.

It has been said that it is the catalyst that both revitalized and restored our nostalgic love of the Christmas holiday.  We all love a good ghost story and when you mix that with old world English dialog and settings it just makes for a fantastic story.    Since the medium of Television has really taken...

    It’s that time of year again.  That time of year when the Christians complain about the secular war on “their” holiday.  My kids and I have to endure the dirty looks, snide comments and general inconsiderate natures of most Christians who make the usual crude assumption that everyone in this country believes the way they do.  From a factual standpoint they don’t care or even want to know that much of what people associate...
