Marital Cardiology

Although I’ve never been to medical school, people come to my office every day for cardiology exams. Most of the time, they don’t even know they have a heart condition, but the symptoms have finally compelled them to seek help. And their complaints sound something like this: He just doesn’t listen to me! She really [...]

Filed under Uncategorized

I’ll be posting some more of my own thoughts later this weekend, but for now, I’ve just got to pass this along.                                                    My good friend, Troy, just told me about this book.  It’s called “The Dangerous Book for Boys” by Conn & Hal Iggulden, two brothers from the UK.  It has become a [...]

MySpace

If you are not familiar with MySpace, you are out of the loop. If you are a parent of children under the age of 25 or so, and you are not familiar with MySpace…Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Stop right now and take time to get educated. A good parent tutorial is [...]

Frolicking

Many of you were in the same place I was at some point today (Easter Sunday) - at church.  The celebration of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead is the central hope and foundation of the Christian faith.  His new life brings the promise of new life to us today, to all who call on his name [...]
