I wonder what would happen if people held up a sign that read “I Need a Job! Please Help!” instead of panhandling for money? Would people be more inclined to help someone find a job, or give them a job, as opposed to handing them a few bucks? What do you think? When my husband […]

It was Sunday morning. I was sitting at Starbucks across the street from our church waiting for my pregnant daughter to arrive, that’s when the call came in.

Weeks out from our youngest sons—and last to leave—departure for college was consuming my thoughts, leaving me with unrelenting fear. Our […]
I could hear the angst in her voice. “Mom, we have a dilemma. We are not sure what to do.” I listened to her talk with all the angles around a serious decision she and her husband needed to make. I asked the question I always ask, “What does your husband think?” He, being a […]
