By Del Duduit When Tim Tebow first heard about a “Jesus Prom,” he thought it was a cool idea. The Tim Tebow Foundation was about to turn five years old, and he wanted to do something special for the occasion. The executive director for his foundation knew about the “Jesus Prom” that was held each… Continue reading Do Your Best to “Shine”
By Del Duduit Life. Death. Two magnificent words with two different meanings. Yet, they are intertwined. Just a few short months ago, we experienced the joy of life when our grandson was born. He’s a blast and cuddly. He has his entire future ahead of him. I grew up in a normal home and had… Continue reading Life and Death
By Del Duduit What motivates you to become better? For some, it might be carrying on a family tradition. It could mean you are the first in your household to achieve a major milestone. Others view fear as a motivating factor in life. No one wants to fail. Last year, my literary agent and friend,… Continue reading What is your Motivation?

By Del Duduit There is nothing more fulfilling than taking time on a cold winter’s night to sing Christmas carols to the elderly and those who are shut in.

By Del Duduit This weekend marked the official beginning of the Christmas season. And no, I’m not referring to Black Friday.
