Grandparent Power for a Better Society
Over the years I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Disney. To be completely honest, recently I’ve been leaning more toward the hate side.

Freedom For Families: The Tree Bark Approach
“Give Me [Tree Bark], Or Give Me Death”: Liberty Yesterday And Today
No speech has ever stirred the American people so much as Patrick Henry’s “Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death” speech. No matter if I see a professional orator perform it with eloquence, or a young child reciting that speech, it touches my heart with goodness and purpose.

Freeing Fathers from False Identities
The role of fatherhood seems to have been under attack for a good portion of my 42 years of life.
