OK, nothing about politics or religion from me today. I like to write about whatever strikes me, and this week it was an article on CNN.com about different parenting styles. (This also fits neatly with Father’s Day, so there you go.)
The article basically says that fathers and mothers parent differently. Big surprise. Anyone who has […]
My mother is elderly and in poor health. She is like many older folks in that much of her daily life centers on doctors’ offices with occasional side trips to the ER, and periodic hospital admittance. I worry about her, but have assuaged that worry over the years with the sure knowledge that she has […]
So, I take it from the general level of comments that most people who read this site are familiar with the Bible. The starting point for my post is the parable of “The Prodigal Son.” I going to assume you’re familiar with the story and not go into all the details. What […]

This is not a typical Brave Humans post, but I’m all about information. It’s a small thing, but worth thinking about. I wanted to pass this along because I’d gone more than 40 years and didn’t know this…
I’m writing this with my 5-year-old daughter. She’s an animal lover, and we were recently looking up information […]
In the car, on the way to a dentist appointment, I happened to catch some of Eliot Spitzer’s State of the State Address. He said some things that were interesting, some ideas, legislation proposed, etc. But what really got me to focus was this quote,
You can’t change the world by whispering.
This is one […]
Be brave. Be human. Hmmmm.
Okay, so I’m honestly going to say that I can’t speak about being “brave,” but I do know how hard it can be sometimes simply to be “human.”
