MLK’s Missing Question

In his famous I Have a Dream speech, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said “I dream that one day my children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the context of their character.”  It’s a wonderful desire, and one we should all emulate, but in the 50 years since the speech, has anything changed?

Respecting Sacrifice

With yesterday being Veterans Day, everyone was quick to salute our veterans.  That’s respectable and noble, but doesn’t it ring a little hollow?

Colorblind in the Workplace

I’ve never thought the difference between blue collar and white collar work was that great.  Having been in both worlds, turns out I was really wrong.

Holy Crap! You’re Alive!

You are alive.  Do you understand how freakin’ incredible that is? 

Mornings of Silence

I woke up early this morning.  I’m glad I did.  For the first time in a long time, I was able to listen.

A Love We All Deserve

I don’t write enough.  I always want to, but I never do.  Sometimes, however, I see things that remind me exactly why I I desire love for every person.

Yesterday was National Tell a Lie day.  Are people serious with these daily “days”?  National Tell A Lie Day.  When has that ever been ok? 

Friends and Lost Love

Why do we devalue those we profess to care about?  Why do we saunter from person to person as if the only person that matters in our life is that one person we’re dealing with?  I recently learned of a situation that made me wonder….how can we learn how to be adults when we mix friendship and romance?

Loving a Miracle

Over the last month, we’ve focused on love.  We’ve tried to give love a chance because it’s easy to get jaded on love.  But as I sit here working on a Children’s Miracle Network Radiothon, I’m reminded just how much love really does matter.
