- “If Your Kids are Okay …” (Dr. James Sutton) April 10, 2018This week my mind was brought to focus on my appreciation of first-responders and the awesome job they often do with our children and grandchildren. It’s a pretty helpless feeling to place your offspring in the hands of a stranger, but that’s what we do when it’s someone trained help them, even save their lives. […]docspeak
- “How Long?” (John Wooden) March 30, 2018There’s no question that the late John Wooden remains a legend in college men’s basketball. From 1964 to 1975, he coached the UCLA Bruins to 10 National Championships, seven of them consecutive. But many folks agree (and I’m one of them) that Coach Wooden was even more a legend as a human being, which may […]docspeak
- Why Your Sports Team’s Loss is Bad for You (Mike Ferry) March 14, 2018Well, just in time for March Madness, here’s an excellent piece by Mike Ferry explaining how, when our team wins or loses, our overall mood tags along. Why does this matter to one’s overall health (and ultimately the family’s health as well)? Read on. –JDS This might be considered a character flaw, but I’ll admit […]docspeak
- What Belief Can Accomplish (Dr. James Sutton) March 4, 2018One of the most important things we can teach our students, children and grandchildren is that belief can help or hinder what we wish to accomplish. In fact, I think it was Henry Ford that said something to the effect of “Whether you believe you can or believe you can’t, either way, you’re correct.” That’s […]docspeak
- The Pencil Man (Dr. James Sutton) February 18, 2018I recently read something that emphasized the value and importance of dignity in a person’s life, something we should share with our young people often. It caused me to recall something I experienced many years ago. On Houston Street As a student going to junior college in San Antonio, I had a part-time job working […]docspeak
- Feel Invisible? Try This! (Dr. Tom Phelan) February 4, 2018Dr. Phelan: Much too often, I feel that nothing I do or say to my children is making the slightest bit of difference. It’s like I’m invisible in my own home. Any thoughts? ……………. If you’re a parent living with small children, you may often feel like you’re invisible to your kids. After spending a […]docspeak

- The Shoes January 11, 2018Sometimes a small, a very small, gesture on our part can be perceived as a gift of great proportion to the one receiving it. As this short and simple story shows, a moment in time and a gesture of concern and kindness can offer encouragement and hope, often when it is most needed. …………………………………………………. […]docspeak
- The Tablecloth December 31, 2017Jim Gentil, my friend in Austin, Texas, published this story about ten years ago in his online newsletter, The Power of Positive Living. It captures the essence of the Christmas season. It was originally written by Howard C. Schade under the title of “The Ivory and Gold Tablecloth.” May this story from our archives bless […]docspeak
