Psalms 38: My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it is also gone from me.

REVIEW: ‘Instant Family’ has a great message about foster care, even if it’s not squeaky-clean November 16, 2018
Sometimes, a serious topic is best conveyed on the big screen with a smile and a laugh. That’s because some topics are packed with so many emotions that a drama — and its somber tone — just won’t cut it. That’s certainly true with foster care and adoption, which are the subject of the […]

From Cancer Diagnosis to Earring Empire  November 14, 2018
Sometimes, the worst news becomes the pathway for the best plan. The unexpected detour becomes the road we should travel. Sometimes, we make it up as we go along and other times, life simply makes a way for purpose. And in that “facing it,” something irrevocable changed. Something new.

REVIEW: ‘The Grinch’ is an instant Christmas classic November 10, 2018
As a father of four small children, I’m always on the lookout for kids movies that remain — you know — kid-friendly.
