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.

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.
