Immediately after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, certain people claimed he was divisive. I, like many others, took great offense. A few days later, I began to read Avi Snyder’s book, Never Ashamed: Stories of Sharing Faith with Scoffers and Skeptics. One section in his book had me sit up straight and say aloud, “Yes, Lord. Charlie Kirk was, indeed, divisive.” The section … [Read more...] about Charlie Kirk Was Divisive And This Is Why I Say This

We Have to Talk About This
Let’s face it: as much as we’d like to think we’re evolved and tolerant, human beings are judgmental. You are. I am. Your Uncle Angus is. So is the Pope, though he probably would not tweet about it. To maintain politeness, perhaps we should refer to judgments as judgmental preferences. That has a gentler ring to it, doesn’t it? I’ll admit it — I have many, many … [Read more...] about We Have to Talk About This
Money And The Shots
A very interesting change has taken place in the pharmacies. They started requiring a doctor's prescription for any further RONA vaccines or boosters. Many patients have called me requesting a prescription to get their boosters. This is a fascinating change.

For Whoever Needs Or Wants To Pray For Self Or Others
As a brief introduction, here’s an excerpt by Corrie ten Boom (God Is My Hiding Place: 40 Devotions for Refuge and Strength): “So often we say we are willing to do what God asks, but when push comes to shove, we reason away the inconvenience.

“God Has a Blessing with Your Name on It”
There’s a gospel song that says, “God has a blessing with your name on it.” For years, I sang it each morning as I woke my grandchildren—an 8-year-old I was raising permanently, a six-year-old, and a 16-month-old, both children of my late daughter, Nikki, whom we lost in 2023. That song wasn’t just a melody; it became a declaration of faith through every challenging … [Read more...] about “God Has a Blessing with Your Name on It”

Why People Avoid Preventive Medical Care
It seems like every month I’m doing some sort of screening or a preventative checkup. Luckily, Medicare takes care of most of the visits. Preventive medical care like regular checkups, blood work, screenings, and healthy lifestyle habits are the most effective ways to detect issues early, reduce health risks, and improve quality of life. Yet, millions of people avoid it, often … [Read more...] about Why People Avoid Preventive Medical Care
What “Age” and “Aging” Really Mean
When we talk about age in the human sense—not about furniture or grandma’s antiques—it’s important to recognize that it’s nothing more than a record keeper. Age is a chronological marker that notes the events of our lives: birth, school, marriage, jobs, retirement, and beyond. That’s it. That's all it can do. Our age has no power over how we look, feel, or function. It … [Read more...] about What “Age” and “Aging” Really Mean
