In the second half of fourth grade, I dealt with many adjustments. A new school, a second-story apartment with natural hardwood floors, and my dad had even bought a new car that had that "smell" we love to remember. Mother was learning to drive, and my brother and I, six years junior to my mature nine, were free to make ourselves familiar with the close surrounding area as long … [Read more...] about My Love Affair With Joyce Kilmer’s Trees

This writing isn’t meant to bash those with a Progressive bent of heart and mind regarding the One True God, Triune through the Father, Messiah Jesus, and Holy Spirit. However, the Word of God is like a two-edged sword: it has potential to both wound and or heal. The fact is this: My heart aches for, and I pray for, Progressive Christians. They’re on the wrong bus … [Read more...] about Progressive Christianity vs. Bible-Based Christianity

So many women say they can't lose weight no matter how little they eat or how much they work out. (Sorry, men, this article will be directed to the ladies… it's nothing personal.)

That's not … [Read more...] about 4 Reasons Why You Can’t Lose Weight

I deal with it every day, so know I’m not commenting as though I’ve got this completely under control and you don’t. Nor does God expect us to be perfect in this, but He does expect us to address it, according to His instructions in His Word. We face serious issues … [Read more...] about It Feels Good So I’m Doing It!

I thought it was important to share my thoughts about self-care…while this is directed more toward the ladies, men can benefit too. My thought for this article started when I desired to buy new bras. I don’t know what I dread more…bra shopping or the dentist. My go-to bra for the last year has been the sports-bra variety. So I felt it was time for a change. Unfortunately, my … [Read more...] about Self-Care — And Why It’s Important As We Age

At 74, Zenobia has little time to reflect on her past, which could fill many books. Raising six children as a single mother, Zenobia continued to write plays and poetry. Later on, she got involved with the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis, organized a journal-writing class, obtained a minister's license, wrote her memoir, and participated in the Extraordinary History … [Read more...] about Low Vision?

Do we contribute to our decline? Of course we do. We think, "the aging process takes its toll, and other than trying to think positive thoughts,  there's not a thing anyone can do about it." Nobody wants to admit or even think about the possibility that entering the government-created state of Nirvana called  "retirement" is the start of the process of decline. At age 65 or … [Read more...] about Do We Contribute To Old Age Decline?

I have discovered a new, high-tech test developed by TruDiagnostic.  The test determines your actual biological age -- your real age.  It makes chronological age (calendar age) meaningless.

This is the most exciting advanced research  I've seen in a very long time. Acceptance of our chronological age often cheats many … [Read more...] about What is YOUR Actual Age?
