Tuesday Thoughts: What’s Your One Shining Moment?
“Class is striving hard to be the best at what you do while taking the needs of others into consideration.”
—Roger Staubach, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback
I neither have, nor ever will, experience the emotion, intensity, and adrenaline bundled in one’s pursuit of a national championship. But Geno Auriemma, coach of Connecticut’s Lady Huskies basketball team, has. It was on full display once again during the Huskies’ semi-final game with South Carolina’s Lady Gamecocks week before last. And the coach didn’t […]
Tuesday Thoughts: When We Ask, “Why?”
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

CBS borrowed it in the 1980s for the men’s college tournament and the name stuck–now probably as recognizable as The Kentucky Derby’s “The Fastest Two Minutes in Sports” and the Masters’s “A Tradition Unlike Any Other.”

Tuesday Thoughts: A Turn of the Seasons
“To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven.”
–Turn! Turn! Turn! (The Byrds; 1965)
First, an admiring nod to the stamina of our friends in the northeast, as well as our fellow North Carolinians in the mountains. For you, I’m preaching to the choir with this post. No sympathy expected! Nevertheless, we in the Piedmont region are sick of winter and ready for spring. Well, I should speak just for […]
