Advocating Non-Traditional Lifelong Growth and Productivity
Many people are guilty of passing by the fridge or pantry and mindlessly grabbing something to eat even when they're not hungry.
Here is a short list of why we eat when we're not hungry:
Someone said we must eat three meals plus snacks daily or die. We have nothing else to do, so we eat. We're addicted to sugar, and we eat more sugar. Comfort food is … [Read more...] about Do You Eat When You’re Not Hungry?Recently I heard a podcast host say that during The Cold War, Russia would accuse the USA of doing what Russia itself was doing. Hmm . . . That’s what’s happening today between the Left/Progressives and anyone not on their team or, stated more accurately, a faithful advocate of their Progressivism religion. Because it is a religion for them, for which they are zealous, … [Read more...] about A Nation Divided: The Root Of The Poisonous Tree
It’s stunning, to me at least, that the famine Yahweh refers to in Amos 8:11-12 isn’t an absence of the Word of God, but the inability of some to hear His Truth breathed into His Word by His Holy Spirit. They cannot, do not, hear the Word the way God intended it. More on this in a bit.
I increasingly see 2 Timothy 4:3-4 examples on social sites in … [Read more...] about The OTHER Famine in the Land
In December of 2020, I got a call from Katy Read of the Star Tribune, asking if I would like to participate in a project where one younger and one older writer would get together and have the younger writer do weekly interviews with the senior writer so that we could tell our stories, memoir style to see what would happen. The entire project was more than … [Read more...] about Faith Through A Different Lens
Having lived as long as I have, one thing I've learned is that the government, with its long arm of bureaus and regulatory agencies, is not our friend. In my view, the government and its entities exist to tax us, restrict and control our lives, and amass as much power as possible. The government micro-management of pharmacists and doctors is a good example.
I'll … [Read more...] about Would You Go To A 100-Year-Old Doctor?
After a few decades on earth, our bodies begin to wear down. They are not perfect, and I guess we have Eve to thank for that, but we're left to deal with it. Bit by bit, "stuff happens." When it does, our first move is to wait to see if "it" goes away, hoping it won't become severe enough to require another trip to the doctor's office or a call for a drug. Or worse. We … [Read more...] about Heal Yourself Without Drugs And Procedures
Ever had to unplug your modem to clear the cable transmission? That’s one way to look at what my experiences have been since the second week in December 2022.
It started when I asked God if there was something He wanted me to do. I was serious but not intense about this query. Well... He answered with, “Turn off your TV for one week and see what happens.” So I did. … [Read more...] about I Got Disconnected
Recently, in our Senior Scribblers Zoom meeting, I made some reference to my being a low-vision person, and when no one asked questions or mentioned it, I wondered for a moment if I had done the right thing.
These kind people in Franklin, Massachusetts, allow me to participate in a weekly romp in literary joy with my peers. I mean, what could be nicer? We share our … [Read more...] about I’m Losing My Sight But I Have Divine Illumination
I would say most, if not all, processed food has some added sugar. I'm good about reading labels, and I always find those hidden "ose" sweeteners that great food adds to food to make food taste better. From jarred applesauce to catsup and jarred spices, you'll find the dreaded "ose's" in our food. A few "ose'" examples are Dextrose, Fructose, Galactose, Glucose, … [Read more...] about Why Is It Critical to Control Blood Sugar
"Senior Sociopaths: How to Recognize and Escape Lifelong Abusers" is the title of a new book by Donna Anderson. If you have or have had troubling experiences in your life with friends or loved ones, this book is a must-read, and I do mean MUST. It will open your eyes and your mind to understand that most of us have or have had experienced pain and trauma, … [Read more...] about Senior Sociopaths
I feel sorry for Joe Biden. He is constantly nagged about his age, and I get it. Yes, he shows signs of senility, but his chronological age is not responsible for his mental decline. If that were true, all of us who have reached and passed age 80 should be in the same deplorable condition. However, your age does have some value that doesn't relate to your mental or … [Read more...] about Living For The Future
A friend and brilliant writer publishes well-documented articles about current events. She said this in a recent newsletter: "Time is also not a friend of people my age. I'll be 73 at the end of June, so I don't have many years left. . . " I guess she has a direct pipeline to the intention of God or the Grim Reaper. Anyone at age 73 who assumes an early demise because … [Read more...] about Stop Anticipating Your Death!
I despise 99% of everything on television today. Yet, I watch, not frequently, but I do. I admit to it. I can't seem to quit.
Why? I've found that it is more than habit. Television is telling us what's coming. It is an eye to a dystopian future.
Decades ago, my dad called it the "boob tube," We laughed as a family, but we watched. Not frequently, but … [Read more...] about “Today’s Special Offer Will Not Last”
As we walk, stomp, step, glide, and stride into 2023, we must not lose our resolve to utilize and share any resources that advocate intentional and informed ways of aging. Unfortunately, rather than approaching our latter years in a willy-nilly, "catch as catch can" fashion leaves us open to those age genies who would like to dictate when, where and how we … [Read more...] about We Have More Important Issues To Complain About — Just Ask Me
