Years ago, my family took a trip overseas to Athens, Greece. The people were warm and lively, the food incredibly delicious; and the Mediterranean colors vividly magnified the sky and sea. One of our stops was Mars Hill, where Paul gave an extraordinary speech recorded...

I recently celebrated my 52nd birthday with my family in a warm climate and on the beach.
My granddaughter ran in and out of the waves, getting braver and going a little further each time and my heart was full of joy.

“Sing, Gigi!” Emmie exclaimed. “Sing, Jesus loves Mommy and Daddy and Gigi and JoeJoe and Mamus and Bucky.” I sang softly as we rocked back and forth before bed. Her curly little head was still damp from tubby-time and her long sleeved pajamas were warm and cozy. Life...

While driving my granddaughter, she sat in her carseat, talking non stop and looking around. It was a windy fall day and leaves were blowing everywhere. She said, “Gigi, Emmie climb tree.” “That sounds wonderful honey,” I replied. “You can climb a tree if you’d like.”...
