Donald Trump has been on the Howard Stern Show many times before he ran for president. Most of these interviews are easy to find on the internet. I believe that in understanding another's essence, one simply needs to listen to the words they speak. Howard Stern was talented in bringing out the lewdness of his… Continue reading Does Donald Trump Understand Human Compassion?

The Quiet Kneel that transformed a Nation
The drama that recently unfolded on the NFL field was from Trump's brash, non-related comments from his Alabama speech. Colin Kaepernick had an issue on his heart. That issue could have been for anything. In his case, it was his concern of police brutality and the equality and justice for Afro Americans. He must have… Continue reading The Quiet Kneel that transformed a Nation

Every Knee Shall Bow
Kneeling during our national anthem may be controversial, but it does not show disrespect to our country. I remember refusing to recite every verse of the Apostles creed at a Christian church. I was not being disrespectful. This was my way of expressing my beliefs within the congregation. In the case of NFL free agent… Continue reading Every Knee Shall Bow
DACA and Immigration
All of us have opinions on immigration. Wherever you live, it has always been a touchy subject. Some say immigrants make our country strong. Others say immigrants take away our jobs. Whatever your feelings, America has always seemed to use its heart while establishing its policies. This is the spirit of America I have grown… Continue reading DACA and Immigration
Evil by it’s True Name
With carefully selected words, our president has neglected to let white nationalists know he is not their friend. No one is born a racist, they are cultivated through example of how we live and speak. Charlottesville did not simply have a "deadly car attack," it was invaded by hate, prejudice, and ignorance from domestic terrorism.… Continue reading Evil by it’s True Name

What is Our Legacy?
Have you noticed how difficult it is for humans to agree on anything? How wonderful when a couple agrees where to go for dinner or which movie to watch.

Hugging the Entire World
My wife once said if my arms were long enough I would stretch them around the world. She said this endearingly, but also as a way to poke fun at how I tend to think galactically by grasping beyond my reach. When I began the Why Mom Deserves a Diamond contest I invited a small… Continue reading Hugging the Entire World
Do we really care about the future?
I have noticed how humans confront problems. We always seem to address the problem we immediately face. For example, if a vehicle swerves in front of us we are not concerned about the shirt we wish to wear the following day. If we find that shirt has a tear, we are not concerned with what… Continue reading Do we really care about the future?

Seven Seconds
In 2016, a man appeared out of nowhere onto our television screens. He proclaimed, "I, Donald J. Trump, am running for the president of the United States." We saw a person who stood tall and looked straight into the camera without blinking. We heard what sounded like the brave conviction of a person who promised… Continue reading Seven Seconds
The Glass Swan
This glass dish belonged to someone I have never met. The bright orange color and design might be a little out of style but it is precious to me. I'm sure it holds secret memories of the past. Maybe beautiful memories, maybe memories too painful to forget. Maybe it once held fresh mints. Maybe filthy… Continue reading The Glass Swan
A Lion or a Man Who Wants to be Loved?
If one takes the time to look, it is easy to ascertain the heart and mind of a person by what they type. In the case of Donald Trump, did any of us take the time to read what he typed? We saw a lion who was brazen and bold. We saw relentless confidence and… Continue reading A Lion or a Man Who Wants to be Loved?
