    January 25th, 201001:51 PM ET
    By Dwight Short
    Have you noticed the players kneeling out on the field after games and praying together? This is often a normal activity after college games as players from both teams who have been beating on each other all day, find it is ok to kneel and pray together when the game is over.

    Those words greeted me when my son signed up for a youth football team in Strongsville, Ohio back in the early 80's. My son loved sports and I had coached some of his teams before so when the organizers of the league asked me to coach, I agreed. I was happy this father of one of the boys alerted me that we would not only have Brian but his son and ...

The laborers worked steadily, productively.  Another appeared beside the man. "A fine field," he said. "Yes," said the first man, "it is abundant. I am blessed". They stood watching for awhile. Then the other said, "Wo...

    How do I get started in real estate? Dear Dave,I've always been interested in real estate, but the only experience I have has come through owning my own home here in Atlanta. I'm not sure I'm enough of a handyman to fix up houses to sell, but I've never thought of myself as a landlord, either. What advice can you give me?Mark Dear Mark,Anytime yo...

    The professional golfers kicked off their season in Hawaii this week and it reminded me of my first visit to the islands.

At the rental booth on Waikiki they gave me some wax and a board...
