    No Shame in Asking

    As she fumbled through her wallet for the food stamps, the man behind her shifted his weight from one leg to the other. His annoyance and smug attitude escaped no one’s view in the register line.

    My wife and I recently made a road trip. Although we have avoided long trips by car for several years, we needed to drive from Colorado to Los Angeles in order to pick up some family property from my wife’s sister. So, we loaded up the car and headed out. Our time was scheduled out.…

    Simply. Blessed.

    Time.   As the old saying goes: “Time waits for no man” (or woman).   It seems like yesterday – I stepped off of an airplane with my 4-year-old son and met a woman that I had only talked to on the phone, halfway across the country. This was before there were dating websites, before…
