A few days ago, I took a college trip with one of my children. As we were boarding the plane, the gate attendant swiped our boarding passes. They bounced.

A good friend posted on Facebook that he’s had a horrible day, that he hopes tomorrow will be better. We all have good days and bad days. It’s just how life is. There are seasons. But, one thing I’ve always experienced is that things look brighter in the morning. It sounds so very trite, but

Well, the snow blizzard right now is hitting full-force. My business meetings have converted to phone calls. And, we all are home riding out the storm.
