This past weekend Sarah and I were blessed to have all three of our grandkids with us.  Sarah took them down to the river to play in the sand.  I am still using a cane with a walking boot so I passed on the adventure...but they did send me a picture of the great time...

I continue to listen and learn during my recovery period from my broken ankle. Everyday things become clearer to me, probably because now I am taking the time to think…rather than just rushing to my next event. I have realized that a major piece of my therapy, in...

Again, I have had a lot of time to reflect recently during my healing process.  It has been an intense time of self reflection.  During times like these, I look up to role models to see what they are doing, that I should be doing. My buddy Gary Sinise is out...

Starting the 5th week of my healing process.  I know that doctors treat, but God heals. I pray to Him every day to heal my ankle. I know many of you are praying for me as well and I sincerely appreciate that.  God willing, I'll be able to start putting pressure on the...

We are a Nation at risk. We have external threats (Russia, North Korea, China, ISIS) and internal threats (domestic terrorism, divisive people, lack of respect for law enforcement personnel). The only way we as a Nation can get thru these difficult times is by...

Over the past several years Sarah and I have had the privilege to be with President George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara.  They were an amazing couple, truly inspirational.  Although we mourn the passing of our 41st President, let's take comfort knowing that they...
