So, Maybe It’s Time to Let the Future Unfold, Not Strive to Control It

As I age, I realize as so many have before me that it’s more about non-striving than striving. Non-striving is like going down the rapids as my wife and I did years ago on the Colorado River. You don’t fight against the current, [...]

It is the time of year when many families are preparing for proms, graduations, and parties. These are significant milestones that parents and children look forward to for years. Unfortunately, the current health epidemic has led to the cancellation or delay of many of these events, and dealing with a child’s disappointment can be a challenging task for parents. Many parents are wondering how to help their children through these [...]

Our loved one is beyond our reach. Someone is desperately sick. A situation seems hopeless. In times like these it is good to know we can always pray. Not only is praying for others our privilege, it is our solemn duty.  Praying for another person helps in many ways, and it helps the person who prays. A man spoke to me one day about a neighbor who [...]

It is certainly appropriate to champion those who develop their talents, work hard, and overcome obstacles. Unfortunately, however, our society is also fixated on praising excess. Magazines overexpose the details of the lives of the rich and famous. News publications rank people according to their net worth. Reality television applauds the lifestyles of those who live in luxury. The internet attracts readers with countless stories [...]
