Growing up, my dad was my hero. He was everything I wanted to become. He was strong, yet playful. His courage taught me how to stand up for those in need. He was daring and always dreaming up and investing in our next adventure. He could fix...

A friend of mine wrote yesterday of the various trials that she is currently under. Her list was long and weighty. They say that when it rains, it pours and this dear woman is in a deluge. I bet you’ve been in them yourself with no umbrella in...

Dear Summertime Friends,
I confess it—I have an iPhone. A love-hate relationship with my iPhone. Love the photo and video quality. Love a few of the apps (particularly the FIFA World Cup app this summer). Hate the fact that I feel tied to...

Yesterday my son was holding his 15-month-old daughter when she made her desires known. Her desire was to go into our bedroom and the door was closed. It was shut for a reason. For the time being, it was closed particularly to her. She...

The fires of summer have destroyed La Veta Pass. Eden beauty incinerated. The fires this season spread and pop up like measles all over the western states. News came they have engulfed the home of friends. Nothing left but smoldering ash. ...

Stop for a moment. Stop reading even and listen. Just give it 30 seconds.
I did and heard the low sounds of the television. The World Cup was on and my husband was catching up on highlights. I heard the occasional call of a nearby bird and...

I love our zoo. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo at its elevation claims to be the highest in the States and it certainly is one the best. Yes, I’m probably biased. We were members when our children were young and now they are members themselves....

I always warned my sons not to hold a young woman’s hand until they were very serious about her and their relationship. It may seem a simple thing, I would tell them, but it’s an intimate act that conveys a sense of being a couple. A...

As Jesus says in the gospel of Matthew, the next chapter of our story begins with "the renewal of all things," by which he means the earth we love in all its beauty, our own selves, and the things that make for a rich life: music, art, food,...

Dear Friends,
I write these letters, for the most part, to people who want to have a richer life with God. (A richer life period, which we know only flows out of a richer life with God.)
We want to draw closer and closer; it is the...
