Writing Inspirational Stories About Everyday People
Well, it finally happened -- writer's block. After three years of weekly posts I came up dry this week. But since the Final Four was last night, it seemed appropriate to pull from last year's event when I attended a dinner before the big dance with Adrian Branch. I hope you enjoy this rerun of… Continue reading The “Tude” adjustment
With the Final Four set for this weekend, I thought I'd share a post I wrote when I attended the event last year in San Antonio, Texas. Here is my blog about my time spent with Avery Johnson. It still applies today. By Del Duduit Social media is supposed to be a good thing—right? After… Continue reading Be Careful Little Eyes What You See
By Del Duduit Like most people, I’m going to try to be tuned into the NCAA’s Sweet 16 Thursday. I’m not able to go this year due to time commitments and obligations, but I am pulling for a team to win it all. Last year, I was able to attend the Final Four in San… Continue reading Sweet 16
By Del Duduit Baboom. Baboom. The human heartbeat. The first sign of life. It’s a two-part pumping action that takes about a second. I won’t get into the technicalities of how the heart works, but a heartbeat indicates existence. The detection of a beating heart means blood is flowing through veins.

By Del Duduit In the 13th chapter of Hebrews, we are advised in the second verse: Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. What does this mean? To me, it instructs me to be mindful of what I say or do in front of people I don't know, and… Continue reading Angels Unaware
By Del Duduit What is truth? It’s easy to define but difficult to decipher at times. Some definitions describe it as “candor,” “sincerity,” “genuine,” and “honesty.” Billy Joel sang in a song that “honesty is such a lonely word – everyone is so untrue.” Go back to President Richard Nixon and the way he tried… Continue reading Truth hits a Home Run
By Del Duduit I may lose some followers after this post, but it’s okay. It’s my blog. This will not be inspirational but rather a look into a Biblical issue that has become both social and political. I can understand why some people have differences of opinions. This is what makes this world unique and… Continue reading At What Cost?
By Del Duduit The last few weeks have been contentious to say the least. Every time I turn on the television, I hear about crime, murder, riots, attacks, and our nation’s political scene has become very ugly. I wrote an opinion piece for my local newspaper last week and received several hateful and rude comments… Continue reading What a ‘Night to Shine’
By Del Duduit A few months ago, Angie and I traveled to Seattle, Washington for a couple days before we met her family for a cruise through Alaska. We went to the Emerald City to be alone before we spent nine days with a bunch of fun people (wink.) Seattle was a cool and vibrant… Continue reading The Restoration Process
