In a culture obsessed with overnight success, the standard formula for advancement often looks like a frantic sprint. We look for the "hot young coordinator" or the breakout star who strikes gold immediately. However, the recent triumph of Curt Cignetti, college football's oldest first-time national champion in the title-game era, offers a powerful rebuttal to this culture of instant gratification....

When a loved one is diagnosed with dementia, you are often handed a pamphlet and sent out into a world that has suddenly crumbled. You are given No Roadmap, No Hope, and No Direction.

Earlier this year, just like every year, the Church celebrated the feast day of St. Thomas the Apostle. Thomas, of course, is especially famous because he refused to believe in Christ’s resurrection until he, personally, saw the risen Lord (and put his fingers into the wounds He had suffered in the crucifixion).
