We live in a crazy world where we get into heated debates with strangers on the internet and show we like stuff by pressing tiny digital hearts. Who came up with this weirdness? And as we have more and more digital interactions, the data shows we’re losing actual human connection.

We have spent a wonderful time this December retelling the Christmas story and singing what for many of us are favorite hymns. In these last few minutes before we go home with our families for Christmas Eve, I want to share a few thoughts about the Christmas story in the hopes that the message of Christmas will be more real than it has ever been for you.
Dear Coach, I want to take action to stay healthy over time. What diseases can be prevented? This answer may stray into official “medical advice” regarding disease.
Dear Doctors: My husband and I are hosting a family holiday party this year. It will include one set of grandparents, our three adult children and the grandchildren. Everyone except the youngest is vaccinated. What can we do to make sure everyone stays safe?
