Learning the iPod Way
You've seen them--they're everywhere. Little electronic gizmos that seem to be connected directly to the brain through the ear.

Five to Drive: Vehicles worth Buying
For better or worse, we have all become dependent on automobiles in our busy, modern lives. For some, they are entertainment; for others, they are an expression of who they are. For many people, however, they are mere appliances that transport us from place to place. Deciding which new vehicle to...
Alex Wolfe's Difficult Decision
There may as well have been a blank check sitting in front of Alex Wolfe. He could fill in the amount: three hundred and fifty thousand and 0/100 dollars, make the check payable to Alex Wolfe, with an 'e,' and he was home free. If only life were so simple. What could a nineteen-year-old do with...
A Powerful Playground

Your Story Matters
I have taught classes on how to write one's life story for years now.

Opposition in All Things
"I am not complaining," my father wrote to my mother from war-ravaged Europe during the closing days of World War 2, when he finally reached the safety of American lines after three years as a POW. "I would not appreciate comfort if there were no hardship. We cannot appreciate joy without sorrow, health if we have never felt pain, or peace until after a war. All things must have their opposites, and we can learn from both."
Romney to skip the Mormon speech?
Political pundits have been clamoring for Mitt Romney to give his big I'm-a-Mormon-but-it's-OK speech, like President Kennedy did about his Catholic faith in 1960. But if Romney decides to give such a speech - he says it's more than likely that he will - there are perils in how he delivers it and...
Band of Brothers
Many families are making sacrifices to have family members serve in Iraq and Afghanistan. But for the Rogers family from the small town of Eagar in eastern Arizona, the sacrifice is three-fold. "I've run the whole gamut of emotions," says Debbie Rogers, who, with her husband, Hank, is relying on...

What is it about the growing "modesty movement" that makes me so nervous?
