Advocating Non-Traditional Lifelong Growth and Productivity
Well, it happened again. A day does not go by that you don't see a headline referring to an older person as "elderly" or a "grandma". Those two words, as used by the media, are not flattering. The latest headline:
"Grandma, 80, Bullied by Trans Activists After YMCA Banned Her For Reporting What She Saw"
This is not about the above-mentioned article's … [Read more...] about Is The Ageist Media Making You Feel Old?
There have been countless books I have read over the years on different topics. So many books have left a lasting mark on my life. I like things simple. I learn best when things are simple and easy to comprehend. One book in particular, "The Four Agreements," is one of those books. While each chapter in the book goes into great depth and detail about the four agreements, the … [Read more...] about The Four Agreements
It’s stunning, to me at least, that the famine Yahweh refers to in Amos 8:11-12 isn’t an absence of the Word of God, but the inability of some to hear His Truth breathed into His Word by His Holy Spirit. They cannot, do not, hear the Word the way God intended it. More on this in a bit.
I increasingly see 2 Timothy 4:3-4 examples on social sites in … [Read more...] about The OTHER Famine in the Land
In December of 2020, I got a call from Katy Read of the Star Tribune, asking if I would like to participate in a project where one younger and one older writer would get together and have the younger writer do weekly interviews with the senior writer so that we could tell our stories, memoir style to see what would happen. The entire project was more than … [Read more...] about Faith Through A Different Lens
With summer in full swing here in AZ, I must stay hydrated. I can tell when I’m not drinking enough water. My digestion is off, I experience slight brain fog, I don’t sleep well, and my energy is low. Many people believe drinking anything liquid will contribute to their water intake. The truth is that coffee, tea, fruit juices, and alcohol are diuretics that deplete the body … [Read more...] about 5 Easy Ways To Drink More Water

Dear Messianic brothers and sisters, This letter is as much to me as it is to you, and is offered with love in spirit. Too often these days, some of us are found to be Christians misbehaving. We’re to be a light in this spiritually ever-darkening world. Examples of the change of heart Messiah Jesus accomplishes in us. We’re to be wise as serpents and gentle as … [Read more...] about A Letter to My Christian Brothers And Sisters
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
Every Wednesday at noon sharp, I can be found staring into the lovely faces of my writing peers via zoom for our weekly Senior Story Time, hosted by the Senior Scribblers. They are residents of the Senior Center in Franklin, Massachusetts. I came across this lively group of people quite by “accident,” but I think it was one of those God connections where several needs are … [Read more...] about Senior Scribblers Writing And Sharing Lives
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
