Let’s face it… eating fat will make you fat; the hypothesis doesn’t hold water. Dietary fat has been vilified since Ancel Keys conducted his Seven Country Study in the late 50s, where he tried to prove the correlation between heart disease and eating saturated fat. Interestingly, Key’s study did find a correlation between eating saturated fat and heart … [Read more...] about What The Fat Is Going On?

Last week, after happily shopping in our local food market, my youngest son and I worked our way to the checkout lanes. Much as everyone does, we seek out the lane with the least people, so we pulled up to what seemed like just one customer ahead, and my son just got the words out of his mouth, "I hope it's not someone with a sack full of pennies or ..." and before … [Read more...] about Lessons Learned At The Supermarket

How often Christians post 2 Chronicles 7:14 (CJB used here) on social sites, yet completely miss who God is speaking to and what His requirements are: “...then, if my people, who bear my name, will humble themselves, seek my face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.” Almighty God is speaking to His Ekklesia, … [Read more...] about “There Is No Political Solution to A Spiritual Problem” (– Steve Quayle)

This month, my daughter Pat, grandson John, and I went shopping at the Goodwill store. This was my first time shopping at a Goodwill in many moons. John is a veteran Goodwill shopper. He could spot something unique, and if the price seemed right, he immediately checked Amazon or another site to verify the price or authenticity.

Was everything perfect in the USA, say, in 2019? Of course not. However, gasoline was under $2 a gallon in many places. Cost of living, though it could have been better, was more affordable, including for many fixed-income people (usually seniors). We were energy independent and top exporter of cleanly … [Read more...] about Perspective, Proportion And Propaganda

I am doing well (some days), but on the days I am not, I spend them thanking God for my life and the life I still enjoy, and I thank Him for my children.

This part of the journey has not been without its lessons, as we know God wraps every situation in a blessing box and offers it to us even amid our grief. 

My eldest daughter went to pick up her little … [Read more...] about I Am Doing Well

I recently needed to change my healthcare provider from a PPO to an HMO. I had been used to seeing a naturopath for in-depth blood work. So much information can be learned from blood work.

My recent trip to a "regular" MD made me feel I knew more than she did regarding nutrition and how food affects the body. The one issue I can't seem to hack is better sleep. I … [Read more...] about Are You an Empowered Patient?

Recently, I've seen  articles about "touch deprivation." With young people constantly all over each other with displays of public affection, I thought we had become a "touchy-feely" culture, but maybe I'm wrong.   Perhaps young people hug and touch each other without thinking about it, but the "old folks"?
