The beauty of a mystery is that it keeps us curious. For 89 years, one question has remained: Where did Amelia Earhart go? I’ll admit. I was a little late to the story. Earhart lost contact with the world in early July of 1937 while attempting to circumvent the
What a great few days! The family gathered, celebrating a milestone birthday for our youngest, joy-filled son, feasting and frolicking and simply having fun together! One of our activities included multiple, most competitive rounds of “Guesspionage,” the survey percentage guessing game from Jackbox TV. Players are asked a human
What’s with this idea that we don’t have to listen to people who don’t think like us? Why do we feel like we can tune them out? Sure, we’ve seen it in our leaders, justifying the limiting of access — be it via the restriction of credentials,
In October of 2024, “Jane Doe,” as she is now referred to, went to Cornell’s Chi Phi fraternity chapter already intoxicated, where she and some of the male members had more alcohol and also snorted ketamine. They engaged in simultaneous sex with multiple people multiple times. One of the

Every now and then a story occurs that just makes me sad. Such is the case of Ashley and Caleb Flynn. Allow us to share some specific, necessary-for-understanding details, while our concluding thoughts are really the point of this post... 37-year-old Ashley died in the middle
While away for my annual summer respite two months ago, as usual, I kept a running log of potential topics upon my return. It’s always a creative and semi-fascinating list — this year containing everything from how many times a congressional testifier can "take the fifth” to whether
In recent weeks, the debate over artificial intelligence (AI) has taken increased shape. While the computer systems application provides massive potential for innovation, there is serious question whether or not the technology will always be subject to human control. If no longer subject to human control, what are the risks
The longest-running study on human happiness began in 1938 and continues to this day. The Harvard Study of Adult Development has followed people for more than 85 years, through careers and marriages, successes and failures, wealth and hardship, sickness and health, all in an attempt to answer a deceptively
Make no mistake about it. What happened on September 11th in 2001 was heinous. Awful. Evil. Remember that our simplest, working definition of “evil” is the absence of God. Despite what the terrorists may have convinced themselves, they were clearly not operating under any power of God. The remembrance is
My good friend, Cathy, called me that morning, knowing I never put my TV on until eve. “Hey, turn on your TV. A plane just hit the World Trade Center. You’re going to want to see this.” Funny how some memories are forever etched in our mind. 25 years
