I have rolled this story over in my head many times. I have been deciding if it is worth sharing. In the end, I believe it has worth and relevance, especially for seniors wrestling with limitations in the body that once sprinted out of bed without a hitch. Other parts that have given way to aches and pains almost daily can baffle and amaze us (not always in a good way). I … [Read more...] about Doing The Impossible Is Possible

I came across an intriguing article title claiming a promise to explain why Elites in power positions tell us what they’re going to do (to us) before they do it (https://tinyurl.com/5feyt4r9). It’s an article worthy of the several minutes involved to read. And then I did something I seldom do: looked at the comments. In the comments … [Read more...] about A VERY Inconvenient Reality

The stomach is probably the most misunderstood organ in the body. If you've ever experienced heartburn, you're probably thinking the stomach is too acidic and causing discomfort. However, heartburn is not caused by stomach acid but from poorly digested foods that backflow into the esophagus.

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.

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.) Everyone is looking for the magic bullet to weight loss and, more importantly, keeping it off! We've all been told about calories in, calories out. The less we eat, the more we'll lose. That's not … [Read more...] about 4 Reasons Why You Can’t Lose Weight

Before I dive into the deep end on this topic, what I write about here affects all of us, impacts all of us. 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
