March 26, 2024 Dear Grandchildren: Today I want to ask you a question about marriage. Why do we have only a 50% chance of having a successful marriage?

Dear Grandchildren: I’m preparing to marry my nephew and his fiancée this summer. During the pre-marital counseling session, we discussed ways to keep the relationship strong. One effective way is to have good communications daily. But what does good communication entail? Yes, it’s talking, but it also means to be understood. It’s knowing what to […]
Dear Grandchildren: One of my most favorite Bible stories is Luke 15 about the two prodigal sons.

November 26, 2022 Dear Grandchildren: Today, I’d like to share about our business, Sonshine Barn Wedding and Event Center. It was about seven years ago when we launched our business to serve a couple and their families, when we converted our farm into a wedding event center. When we made this decision, I really didn’t comprehend what we were […]
October 2022, Dear Grandchildren, Jim Rohn stated, “You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change your circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself.” One of the most pervasive myths in the American culture today is that we are “entitled” to a great life-that somehow, somewhere, someone, is responsible for filling our lives with […]
