Eulogy for Colonel William Goldsmith, M.D. The death of one’s parent is a humbling experience. This week, I have come to know my father beyond who he was as a caretaker. I saw him through the eyes of his patients, heard him through the words of his air force peers, and understood him through the […]

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about where we find God. Growing up I thought He was in church on Sunday mornings. I believed we went through the week trying to hold on for the ride until we could find safety and refuge in church on Sunday. I suppose that’s why…

It is with regret that I announce the passing of my father, Colonel William Goldsmith, after a long battle with cancer. A veteran of the Army and Air Force and conflicts including Vietnam, Desert Storm and Operation Enduring Freedom, Colonel Goldsmith’s greatest work was found in his writing and unique brand of humor. In lieu […]

Quote of the Day
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
“I beg you, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live […]
