It's crazy to think that when I was growing up, I only knew of one person who was being raised by a single mom. Sadly, 30+ years later, I see SO many kids growing up that way.
In fact, according to the US Census Bureau, 18,300,000 children in America (1 in 4) are growing up with no father, no step father and no adoptive father. This has contributed to a wide array of societal problems.
Since today is...
At only 26 years old, Bryson Dechambeau is one of the world’s youngest international golf champions. He is a 7-time PGA Tour winner, the 2020 U.S. Open Champion, and he is only the fifth player in history to win the NCAA Dl Championship and the U.S. Amateur in the same year. But achieving that level of success took a toll on his body.
In his early years Bryson suffered from back pain that limited his performance and his recovery. About...
Even if you're not a tennis fan, I'm sure you've heard the name Roger Federer. Roger is one of the most accomplished athletes of all time, and is considered by many to be the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time) of the tennis world. Roger is also 39 and has recently had two knee surgeries.
This past week Roger has been playing in the French Open. After winning his third round match last night, he announced today that he would be withdrawing...
I don't know about you, but holidays like Memorial Day really make me reflect on how blessed we are to live in America. There are so many countries whose people don't get to enjoy the freedom and liberties that we do, and because of that I am truly grateful to live here.
As a matter of fact, I had a reality check about this just last night while at the beach. A Ukrainian man came up to us after watching us baptize...
I'm sure you've noticed that it is getting A LOT hotter outside. In my area, it seems like a switch was flipped this past week, and now it feels like we are cruising right into summer.
Now, although I'm not a huge fan of the humidity of the Florida summer, I do love that the sunlight is strong enough to give me a nice boost of Vitamin D without having to be outside for very long.
Not everyone...
If you are a regular reader of my writings than you know that I love being the bearer of good news. I love to share positive, uplifting things that will encourage people in their lives because it brings me so much joy.
Today though, I feel compelled to share with you some less than good news that sadly very few people are talking about.
It was reported this week by the CDC that AT LEAST 9,245 people who have...
I think we can all agree that we need more good news in our daily lives, maybe now more than ever. Well, your prayers are answered. Although this didn't just happen, I just found out about it today so I wanted to share it with you.
57-year-old Greg Thomas of Montgomery, Minnesota was diagnosed with stage 4 head and neck cancer. He had over 40 radiation and chemotherapy treatments, had all his teeth removed, and even had to have a...
I don't think you'll be surprised to hear that many people in America have been eating differently over the past 14 months. So much so, that according to the CDC, the obesity pandemic has been exploding. Between the anxiety, the loneliness, the boredom, and the feeling of "why bother to eat right when xyz is going on?", Americans have been eating so badly that 42% of us are now obese.
In fact, one study showed that 42% of people reported gaining...
Do you enjoy dancing? I sure do. There's something about a certain beat that just makes my body feel like it has to move. Can you relate? I know for me, one of the things that pulls me right up into a better mood is to crank my favorite music and go after it. Turns out my brain cells love it too.
This article was written by Dr. Don Colbert M.D. about the brain boosting benefits of dancing. I think...
