Fleeting Moments
This month we have two granddaughters graduating high school. How is that possible? Exciting for them … surreal for us. It was just yesterday we held tiny bundles in our arms, welcoming them to the world … catching them as they took their first steps … searching...That First Step
A couple of years ago, I surprised my husband with a special birthday present. It was something he had talked about his whole life and something on his bucket list – skydiving! I took him to the airport to meet his instructor, get his “training,” and get suited up. ...Deep Roots
I grew up in Big D. From my first memories; I have been fascinated with trees. I just knew if I climbed all the way to the top, I could reach heaven. As I grew older, I became more aware of the world as we traveled around the country. When we went west, the...The Power of One

In the summer of 1992 during the quarter finals of the 400 meter sprint at the Barcelona Olympics, British athlete Derek Redmond was favored to win a gold medal. A lifetime of training had brought Derek to this precise moment. As the gun fired, athletes burst out of...Back to School
