The law of diminishing returns says that if all the factors in a process remain the same, except one, and that one is steadily increased, eventually a tipping point will be reached and everything will start failing, lose its luster, fall to wreck and ruin. You get what I’m saying. As an example, let’s say your favorite full meal includes ice cream for dessert. One day you have your favorite meal with ice cream, but you just keep eating more and more ice cream. Eventually, you...

There is a magic, especially in some of the valleys as the stars begin to dim and faintly a tinge of pink begins to make itself known up on the ridges. Down below, it is still dark and cold, but up...

This is a time of year when the expectations are so high and the demand for joyfulness is so great. We are filled with tunes like “Joy to the World” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas;” we race around shopping for the perfect gifts, getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season; we fill our schedules with holiday parties and concerts; we turn out an abundance of Christmas cookies, chocolates, and special holiday meals. But this time of year can also highlight our sadness — our own darkness, fear and grief. Ma...
