My Girls: A Sacred Trust
I can still remember where I was standing and the way my daughter Aubri looked at me that fateful December day. She came to me and said, “Dad, Dan really wants to talk to you to ask if he can be allowed to date me.” I knew this day would come.

Fear At the Top of the Hill
I looked down the 15 foot rock face that the other guys had just ridden down on their mountain bikes and the sight of it froze me in place.

As we headed outside for some fresh air after the “Golden Goal” a man saw my Canada jersey and said, “I guess Mr. Crosby made your day. Maybe your year!” The euphoria was amazing and the patriotism was over the... >Read More

“But I Don’t Want a Divorce”
I sat across from him as he poured out his heart. My friend’s marriage was ending, against his wishes. Unfortunately this story repeats itself over and over.
You will probably face the same challenge I did. How do you support a friend facing an unwanted divorce? What do you say?
