Does Everything Make Me Cranky? No – Just A Lot Of It
I read a lot, and honestly, a lot of it just makes me cranky. Sometimes the sheer cluelessness of what I’m reading is enough to give me a headache—and yes, occasionally push me toward a glass of Moscato. It doesn’t fix anything, but it tastes good. I know, I know… water is the smarter choice. Articles from the medical establishment about the standard American diet? Those really test my … [Read more...] about Does Everything Make Me Cranky?

What You Might Have Missed
They Paid Homeless People to Forge Your Vote. James O'Keefe Caught It on Tape.
And then there is chaos in Canada. What's happening in Canada should concern us because eventually the US suicide zealots who promote this evil will soon be (if not already) promoting it in the US.

The Other Side
“The ability to understand and share the feelings of another.” That’s the dictionary’s simple explanation of empathy. I’m an adoptive parent and have counseled adoptive parents for many years. The most effective tool in my toolbox is to introduce, usually reintroduce, parents to empathy. I listen carefully to their moans and groans about the bad behavior of their adopted … [Read more...] about The Other Side

I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the longevity movement – the desire and ability to live longer in good health is catching on. Even my 30-year-old grandson, Michael, is into longevity. He understands the importance of a superior, non-traditional diet, exercise, and a mindset that is leading him in the right direction. He is sharp as a tack, business-oriented, and has his … [Read more...] about Eat Better, Live Longer, Ignore the System

Everywhere I look in the room, I’m aware of God’s blessings, provision, and care. Everything I have is and was, ultimately, in one way or another, provided by Him and is maintained by Him. I also see what’s … [Read more...] about Do I Truly Honor What God Provides?
