He has always been my favorite superhero. “Batman Begins” was produced by Warner Bros. in 2005 and quickly became my favorite superhero origin story. With enough money and courage, I could be Batman! Alright, take a deep […]
Anticipated Destination
I must confess, I really enjoy going to Disney World! My family has made the trek to visit the magical mouse on multiple occasions. I would even go so far as to say, we are Disney people. All right, there – I admit it. We have made many wonderful memories as a family on these […]
Bonfire Moments
I enjoy a good bonfire. Sometimes I need it for warmth on a cold night while camping. Other times I need it because it creates an environment for deep and personal conversations as people tend to relax and open up. I will also admit, there are some times I create a fire solely to make […]

Positively Hopeless
A dad noticed his son watching intently from the dugout while his teammates struggled on the field. Down 18-0, and counting, in the top half of the first inning, the dad came behind his son and whispered through the fence, “I’ll bet you feel discouraged.” Without hesitating, the hopeful son replied to his dad, “No […]
