How many of us grew up on the number 666 as being a bad omen, the sign of the devil? I remember well the movie The Omen, and Damian had 666 tattooed on his scalp, which is how they knew the devil was inside of a child. Scary stuff! So, when the number 666 kept…

Yep! One giant leap, backward! I have always thought of it as a cha-cha. With life, you shuffle forward, maybe shuffle back a little, side to side, but always fluid and moving forward in some way. I now see that at times you don’t shuffle or take small steps back, you take giant leaps backward!…

The sun’s rays were glistening across the colorful trees and bouncing upon the rolling hills. The crisp air perfect for an afternoon football game.
