Ok, I admit it. One of my all time favorite movies is Jerry McGuire. My college roommates know this best. I believe that the redemptive qualities of movies like this endear them to us because we can all see a part of ourselves in the heroes or heroines. The difference is the path we take…

Lessons Learned from Tony Snow
“The art of being sick is not the same as the art of getting well. Some cancer patients recover; some don’t. But the ordeal of facing your mortality and feeling your frailty sharpens your perspective about life. You appreciate little things more ferociously. You grasp the mystical power of love.
