BLOG: Now, I am not rich by most American standards. Although I have been "accused" of being rich by some who don't earn as much as I do or who do not have the earthly things I may have. But the reality is, I am not even...

You see, we all like to think we live in a community. We all like to think we are part of something greater than ourselves. The raw truth is, we don’t. Even though humans are considered to be a pack animal, we are actually solitary creatures....

As I write this, it’s the beginning of the weekend.  An American weekend.  It’s not the heart of summer.  It’s not a holiday.  But it’s a celebration in any event. It’s an American weekend.  Americans will be out mowing their laws, doing maintenance on their homes, working on their...

Life Lessons Of Dodge Ball By Rod Eccles If you are at least 35 years old or older, you probably remember the wonderful gym class game called Dodge Ball.  In my school, it was called War Ball.  The rules are the same. Of course there is a movie which...
