Taking Sports to a Higher Level
By Del Duduit Anyone who knows anything about the National Football League is aware that Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin is passionate. He is a no-nonsense leader who gets to the point and does not appreciate hypothetical situations or questions. I witnessed this myself Sunday afternoon when a reporter posed a scenario to him… Continue reading Are You Passionate?
By Del Duduit Every Wednesday since the summer of 2015, Ashley has visited the Ashland Community Kitchen to serve food to people who are in need. The talented photographer not only sees life through her Nikon lens, but she examines her own heart and internal needs during these moments. “I love coming here,” she told… Continue reading But for the Grace of God
By Del Duduit October! This is my favorite month of the year for many reasons. Football is in high gear while the MLB playoffs begin. October is the start of God making new colors to decorate the leaves and crisp evenings with family around the fire pit. It’s the time to sort through and find… Continue reading What’s Your Costume for Halloween?
By Del Duduit I love a fresh Red Delicious Apple. My fav!! There is nothing quite like the loud snap it makes when you sink your teeth into one.

Over the course of my brief 51 years on earth, I have worn many hats, from retail… Continue reading I Met Billy the Kid

But I have experienced guilt and shame that accompany a bad decision. For some, being behind bars is a punishment. Yet for others, the… Continue reading A Letter Changed His Life
By Del Duduit Hatred: To feel intense or passionate dislike for someone or something. What has to simmer in a person’s soul to bring about such a fierce feeling? I’ve always been told you have to love what you do, and this is especially true for professional athletes. In order to be successful, a player… Continue reading When Loves Turns to Hate
By Del Duduit When I grew up in Southern Ohio, I really didn't worry about anything bad happening in my neighborhood. I used to jog around my community at 10 p.m. in the summer because it was cooler. I ran through the streets alone, didn't have a cell-phone back then and my parents never worried… Continue reading There is Another Way
