I hate pickles. I know, I know… that’s not really an appropriate use of the word “hate.” But it’s true; I hate them. As an adult who desires to be at least perceived as semi-mature most days, I confess to hiding the depth of my loathing. If

Call me a realist, but I find myself continually questioning the merits of social media. On one hand, it has allowed us to connect in a way we would otherwise not... Friends from grade school, high school, college, past jobs, towns, hometowns, etc. It has allowed me to converse at

Last weekend Hillary Clinton and NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio took part in a skit with Broadway actor, Leslie Odom Jr. Part of the brief exchange went as follows: "Thanks for the endorsement, Bill. Took you long enough,” said Clinton. "Sorry, Hillary. I was running on CP time,

I don’t know why sometimes bad things happen to good people. I don’t get it, understand it, nor typically, usually like it. I don’t know why perceived good things happen to some people and bad things happen to others. I don’t know why some people “have

Pondering the ancient scriptures on this global holiday... camping on one all of us know. I have two questions today... “… A giant nearly ten feet tall stepped out from the Philistine line into the open, Goliath from Gath. He had a bronze helmet on his head and was dressed in
