Father’s Day. What does Father’s Day mean to you? What does it mean to me? First, I have to examine what father means to me. Thinking of my biological father brings a flood of memories. I remember him stating to my siblings and I the following, “I shoulda took you up by your heels when […]
Over the past several weeks I have been examining the concept of honesty. About a month ago I served as a juror on a criminal case in a city near my home. Until this case I don’t think I have every heard so many blatant lies in an eight day period. While under oath (sworn […]
