Well, my friend Charlie Herrick passed on Thursday of last week. After the battle he waged against his illness, I feel relief that at least he is not in pain anymore, but sadness too, as he will be missed by many.

The Life-Giving Message of Christmas
The world is such a tender place that it can be hard to remember to take care of one another – yet to me, this is the imperative of being human.
