As I drove my son to preschool this morning, I happened to hear a local DJ refer to the fact that one of the co-hosts is 23 years old. After I recovered from the shock of realizing that this woman was FOUR when those 9/11 happened, it got me thinking. There are teens and young…
“Make way, good people, make way, in the King’s name!” cried he. “Open a passage; and, I promise ye, Mistress Prynne shall be set where man, woman, and child may have a fair sight of her brave apparel, from this time till an hour past meridian. A blessing on the righteous Colony of the Massachusetts,…
A few days ago I sat scrolling through Facebook—and a video appeared on my feed. In short (and you can watch the full video plus more here), the clip was about why he walked away from the liberal left he once belonged to. In it, the man realizes that the Democrat Party has long “encouraged…
The definition of insanity—or so they say—is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. (And for the record, no—Albert Einstein didn’t say it. But I’ve digressed.) I’m reminded of a story I read recently to my young daughter where Winnie the Pooh tries to bury a pot of honey in…
**UPDATE** Alfie Evans has now been alive for almost 70 hours post-life support removal. As courts have again rejected the parents’ plea to take Baby Alfie to Italy, they are now simply begging the hospital to be allowed to take him home. I couldn’t wait to meet our son. As he came, there was…

I remember seeing a music video once where, as the song starts, it pans to a scene where one of the guys holds up his U.S. passport and says, “As long as I have this … it really doesn’t matter.” Meaning—his U.S. passport was his most important possession. That idea was running through my mind…
I’ll never forget the day I had the opportunity to see Pearl Harbor. As the boat made its way out on the water towards the U.S.S. Arizona’s final resting place, it was sobering to think about what all had happened there. As I sat thinking about that attack on its 75th anniversary this week, in…
Have you seen this guy? South Korean native Nam Seok Byun can literally balance anything on top of stacked stones. Washing machines, laptops, bikes, mopeds—you name it. It almost looks unreal. What’s the secret to this guy’s seemingly superhuman skill? It’s simple: he’s just figured out how to find the center…
When you become a parent, everything takes on new meaning. Especially when it comes to what your every action teaches your child. You start thinking about everything you do, and what your kid is going to learn from it. I may now be in charge of a little human being, but I’m still learning, too.…
