Advocating Non-Traditional Lifelong Growth and Productivity
Having lived as long as I have, one thing I've learned is that the government, with its long arm of bureaus and regulatory agencies, is not our friend. In my view, the government and its entities exist to tax us, restrict and control our lives, and amass as much power as possible. The government micro-management of pharmacists and doctors is a good example.
I'll … [Read more...] about Would You Go To A 100-Year-Old Doctor?
Life is simple, but we do everything possible to make it hard. We tend to live exclusively in the past or become fortune tellers about the future. So why can't we live in the present moment? For most people, it's tough to do. I have asked people if they can stay in the present moment; most people don't understand the concept. They can't keep their mind from thinking about … [Read more...] about Why Do We Make Life So Hard?
I was heading down the main hallway of our building to check on mail when I heard familiar voices. I dug my heels into the carpet with screech-like movements and began moonwalking in the opposite direction.
Good thing I was still behind the wall and not in full view of the voices I recognized very well. I refer to them as the "Achy-Breaky" ladies. They are the … [Read more...] about Are You An “Achey-Breaky” Lady?
The Magnificent Revival Grows -- Recently I wrote about the spontaneous religious revival happening at some colleges around America. As of today, February 20, 2023, that spirit continues to grow.

We cannot watch or listen to anything these days – not ourselves or each other or on TV or the Internet – without seeing and hearing evidence of our/humanity’s broken love.
This especially happens on sites where too many of us post, tweet, or publish expressions of our injured, broken love, though unaware that’s what we’re doing. As Jamie Walden says, we falsely … [Read more...] about Humanity’s Love Is Broken But Can Still Be Healed
You may have seen a TV ad featuring a retired couple who said they thought they had planned well for their retirement but soon realized they needed more money. They decided to sell their life insurance policy to augment their income. An insurance policy must be worth a lot to get anything of value from it when sold.
It's not unusual for people to retire, thinking … [Read more...] about Should Every Retiree Have a Job?
I've heard from many people who "retire" that they don't know how they had time to work their 40-hour day job now that they're retired. I find there's a LOT to do daily, but then there are times when boredom creeps in. For example, when my husband is out of town for softball tournaments, I have time to focus on things I want to do. Instead, I spent time rearranging my … [Read more...] about Six Ways To Manage Boredom
God asked, “Do you trust My love as much as you trust My wisdom?” Moment of silence. “No, LORD. My ability to trust love, even Yours, is broken. Please heal me.” God asked that in 2016; this, as do I, continues to be a work in progress.
God wants us to choose an intimate relationship with Him, not consider Him a catalog we order our … [Read more...] about Do You Have Religion Or Relationship?
I've been harping on the typical junky American diet forever, and just about everyone at least suspects that what they regularly put into their bodies is not good. Still, they go on eating what they are accustomed to. The video below may be a wake-up call for those who care about their long-term health. I said "long-term health" because what we do or do not eat over time … [Read more...] about The Result Of Intellectual Ignorance
My parents pushed me out on one stage or another, beginning at age five or so. I remember someone having to adjust the microphone to my height as I either sang, recited, or made some other vocal offering to rows of upturned and not always eager faces, but I showed no fear. I did not know how to show fear because it seemed natural that I was part of a play, skit, or part of … [Read more...] about Playing To Tough Crowds
