Piñatas are great fun, but only if they actually contain candy. We may be drawn in by the bright colors that promise a good time, but it’s quite a disappointment if, after a few whacks, it’s revealed that there’s actually nothing inside. Whomp whomp.The thing that makes a piñata so irresistible is what’s inside.The idea behind this painting is that if you’ve got a piñata, you’ve got a party, even if you’re in the middle of a barren wasteland. It was inspired by a song by the Newsboys, called "Wherever We Go."Here are some of the lyrics: Wherever we go, the dumb get wiseAnd the crime rates …

Big Dreams Don’t Come True the Way You Think
Big dreams don’t come true the way you think.At least not the way the movies have taught us. You know, with magic wands and pixie dust and a few clicks of your ruby slippers. The best ones come little by little, over a long period of time, and often appear like they'll never come true at all. You may recall me mentioning a few weeks ago that we were outbid in our effort to buy our dream home. In a near miraculous turn of events, that home is now...ours! What the what?!? In January, our family of five will be moving to Sheboygan, the Malibu of the Midwest and official Bratwurst Capital of …

Rain Delay Reminders
In 2016, the Chicago Cubs spent a wheelbarrow of money – 184 million dollars, to be exact – on a free agent outfielder named Jason Heyward. By almost every measure, with the exception of his stellar defense, he failed to live up to expectations. He struggled though a rough year, but amidst all the boos, I watched him persist admirably with the things he could control: namely his work ethic, attitude, and leadership.He ultimately came through when it most counted, and it wasn't with a timely hit, stolen base, or spectacular catch. In the seventh game of the World Series, during a rain delay …

‘Tis The Season to Tinker
As I write this, we’re still two weeks from Thanksgiving here in the United States, but I've already seen Christmas lights going up around town. Seems early to me, but maybe it springs from a collective yearning for the joy and nostalgia of the holidays, and the warm comfort it brings. I suspect it’s a desperate attempt to encourage 2020 to leave already.Whatever the reason, one thing is certain: our holidays will look different this year. Thanks to the pandemic, some of the ways we’re used to doing things just aren’t possible this year. For many, that is a source of great sadness.But it might …
