I Believe in Dog

June 22, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

My dogs sleep all day. It’s just what they do. Except when they’re busy chewing up my 48th pair of reading glasses. They sleep, sleep, sleep. And amazingly, after a full day of sleeping, they don’t feel guilty about it. Not even a little.

May 13, 2025 by David T. Cloft

Family, is different than military service, no matter how honorable. A nation may thank you for your service, but it won’t sit beside your hospital bed when you’re broken.

A picture containing plant Description automatically generated

When we were growing up, my brother and I never got Easter baskets. Easter meant going to church and getting new Easter clothes. Our parents (actually, we just blame Mom–sorry, Mom) wanted to instill in us that Easter was not about rabbits or chocolate eggs, but rather about the resurrection of Jesus.

April 15, 2025 by David T. Cloft
