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.

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
Grandma Moses started to paint at age 78. Julia Child started her cooking show at 51. JRR Tolkien wrote "Lord of the Rings" at 62. At 77, John Glenn became the oldest astronaut to travel in space. Many lesser-known individuals, such as the [Read more...] about Work Until Age 101–Or Beyond?
Last month, I wrote a semi-scathing article to air my views about tattoos on women. I still don't like them -- that hasn't changed. Tattoos still send a negative message about how a woman feels about herself. I will stick to my belief that women are as beautiful as God made them, and decorating the body with permanent designs, no matter how beautiful, is an offense to God. … [Read more...] about An Apology To Readers – (Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa!)
It happened again: I had a stack of notes, made over several weeks, ready for this month’s article then got a clear understanding in my spirit that I needed/we need to focus on Kingdom vs. religion. That adhering to any man-made religion will never equate to correctly living as an occupant of God’s Kingdom, as rightfully expected by the King of kings. Here in the USA, the … [Read more...] about For The Love Of God – Part 3: Kingdom VS. Religion
Record heat has been everywhere this summer, so staying hydrated is critical. I can tell when I’m not drinking enough water. My digestion is way off, I experience a little brain fog, and my energy is low. Many people believe drinking anything liquid will contribute to their water intake. The truth is coffee, tea, fruit juices, and alcohol are all diuretics and deplete the … [Read more...] about 5 Easy Ways to Drink More Water
Right out of the gate, I’ll say it: : I don't like visible tattoos on a woman.
Some tattoo designs are beautiful and artistic but belong on a canvas, not a human body. I'll accept tattoos on a man because men are -- well, they are men.
Does a would-be tattooed woman ever stop to think about the INTERNAL effects of various inks that pierce the skin to create … [Read more...] about Tattoos – Why Do Women Do It?
Guilty!
Here is my top 10 list of why we eat when we’re not hungry.
Someone said we must eat 3 meals plus snacks daily, or we’ll die. Seriously. We have nothing else to do, so we eat. We’re addicted to it, and we eat more sugar. Comfort food is sooooo yummy. To deal with our stuff. To be social – someone took the time to make something, so I better … [Read more...] about Do You Eat When You’re Not Hungry?I invite you to get a beverage, get situated, and hang on. There’s much going on in the world, and much that needs to get said as we go forward into these days prophesied in God’s Word. Ready? Here we go.

One of the unknowns facing many soon-to-be retirees is "How soon will I run out of money after my last paycheck?" Sometimes It doesn't seem important to many facing an unknown future. They are tired of years of doing the 9-5 thing; all that matters is finally living on their terms. Often, the money issue comes down to "I won't need as much money in retirement. I won't be … [Read more...] about Nobody Will Notice?
My last ICU vacation was less than three weeks ago. Every two years or so, the walls of my colon spring a leak, and I am hemorrhaging in a not-so-lady-like fashion where they rush me off to ER and onto the hooks, lines, and sinkers in both arms that pump me full of units of blood, and other life-sustaining fluids.
I lay there like a punctured inner tube (remember … [Read more...] about Krazy Faith and Yes! Krazy with a “K”
I probably bore many readers with my constant yapping about the crappy diet most of us eat regularly. I won't do that this time -- you will love the positive video I'm offering this month.
