As we make our way through the dog days of summer each year, my yearning to see the boys of fall throw the 'ole pigskin around the gridiron begins to increase exponentially. It is quite literally one of the highlights of my year. The chilly temps, the smell of burning leaves, the taste of spicy ...
Nowadays, I find myself in deep longing and not even sure why. I know I'm longing for college football to start up again, and longing to see our entire church family gathered together each Sunday, and longing to see live music more often, and to see friends and family I haven't seen in a long ...
As some of you may know, I am an avid movie guy. The "experts", whoever they are, agree that men tend to engage visually more so than by any other means. I surely can attest to that. I can quickly and easily be sucked-in to a good movie within a few short minutes. I have ...
