As I consider the next chapter of my life, I turn to my past heroes for advice. I first heard one of my heroes, Steven R. Covey, speak in 1972 when I was the ripe old age of 21.

Recently, I heard a rumor a group is trying to change the Bible to make it more politically correct and to accommodate those who are not comfortable with the intolerant way it excludes people who choose diverse lifestyles.

In a science class in college, I watched a video depicting rock formation and movement. The film hypothesized that rocks gradually change shape over time, not just with erosion but a kind of stretching.

I recently had an opportunity to teach a grandchild about the truth of this statement: As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

Lately, I have been studying the book of Isaiah. I love that book because every time I read it, poetic treasures spring from its pages and I understand their significance for our day. This time was no different. I found a treasure in Isaiah’s account of King Hezekiah.

Recently, I was reminded the story of Helen Keller, who was 9 months old when she was stricken with the disease that left her both blind and deaf.
