Good morning: What happens when you see a sign: “Road closed”? Do you follow the detour or drive around the barricade because “No one is going to tell me I can’t use this road”? Tell a little one, “Don’t touch,” and what may he likely do when you turn your back? Take your shoes off,…
Good morning: How does today look? What about next week? What are your expectations for the rest of the year? Will every day be sunshine and 70s, COVID-free, and filled with fun times and interesting experiences? Of course not. We know expectations like that are completely unrealistic. Life in this sinful world is never perfect….
Good morning, Have you ever met a celebrity? I once sat ten feet away from a Brewers pitcher in a Hales Corners barbershop. What an opportunity! The problem was I didn’t know who it was until he was out the door and in the parking lot. He looked like any other typical young man in…
Good morning: When was the last time you got together with others, besides your family? Has it been awhile?

Good morning: 1-202-456-1414. Recognize it? It’s the phone number for the White House switchboard. If you wanted to speak with the President, leave a message, or find out information on upcoming events, this is the number you would call. Yet chances are, most of us have never called or even seriously considered calling. Who knows…
Good morning: Did you put off doing something yesterday which you had put off the day before and the week before that? I know I should weed my garden, but I can always find something else to do instead, and so I put it off until “tomorrow.” Maybe for you it’s a dentist appointment or…
Good morning: Chances are you were the target of someone’s anger in the past few days. Maybe it was someone in a store who became angry with you because you were or were not wearing a mask. It might have been a coworker who was upset because of something you did or did not do….
Good morning: A few days ago my family and I were enjoying a beautiful summer evening outdoors. Joining us high up in a tree was a bright red cardinal loudly singing its heart out for all to hear. We didn’t coax it into song. It didn’t have to think about it for a while. It…
