My mother had decided to take me to Mannheim in person. We could see my father, who lived there, but my thoughts were about my new beginning in a new city.…

What are the Laws of Grace? Here I have identified the Laws of Grace as 3 essential principles that define Grace as I have come to know it.

The First Law – Grace expresses divinity and is all-pervasive.

Recognizing Grace often begins with faith. Besides my Christian upbringing, I also had the pleasure of learning Native American spirituality from the Lakota, and it instilled in me the connectedness of all of life. Both spiritual traditions played a big role in the…

On June 8th 1952 my dear wife Sylvia and I were married in Birmingham, Alabama while attending the University of Alabama. Interestingly we were told that because we were only 18 years of age that the marriage wouldn't work. Apparently they were wrong. Yes, we were both headstrong, at times angry but dedication to family (and friends for that matter) was always of primary performance to us. We learned to compromise, respect each other and to try to end arguments with a laugh. Coupled with the…
