For the last 2 1/2 years, I've enjoyed our rescue cowboy Corgi Zeke. He came from a good environment where the previous owners raised him from a puppy and loved him; however, as Zeke got older, he would fight with the existing dogs in the house. After putting Zeke through training and doing everything possible to get the dogs to cohabitate, the previous owners surrendered … [Read more...] about My Dog Zeke

If We Do Not Help Ourselves…
I recently joined a Facebook group, "Seniors Who Need Help with Anything." I tried to find rules or limitations thrown in by the administrators, but I joined anyway to see what it was all about.
As soon as I joined, I could see there was little organization, no rules of compliance, and little thought had been given to the many differences in states and cities. … [Read more...] about If We Do Not Help Ourselves…
They Really Don’t Like Us
I belong to a group of researchers scattered across the US. Some in the group have contacts in Germany, Italy, and Australia. We share information and try to stay abreast of current political and social events that shape or eventually will shape our lives. The different pieces of information from various parts of the US or elsewhere are often similar. For example, before the … [Read more...] about They Really Don’t Like Us
Christians In Confusion, Conflict, And Chaos
Maybe you, too, have noticed that Christians are in confusion, conflict, and chaos. Social network users, including Christians (especially those new to the faith looking for examples of how to walk in Kingdom ways) and non-Christians, watch us engage in these ways, as does our Almighty God and Redeemer Lord. This includes sarcastic, put-them-in-their-place memes and … [Read more...] about Christians In Confusion, Conflict, And Chaos
What This Doctor Grapples With
Many people think all doctors are wealthy. That's not true. Wealthy doctors are usually those trained for a specialty such as cosmetic surgery or any popular specialty practice that doesn't accept insurance. I recently received a letter from a local doctor that is reminiscent of what many insurance-accepting doctors deal with. Read it carefully and think about it.
Who God Is
Messiah Jesus told us that when certain events, signs, and wonders begin to appear, we are to look up. In other words, we should focus on Him and Who He is for us—and stay on mission for Him—no matter what’s going on around us.
So much information needs to be shared about the times we’re in, but it can weary the saints. I’m feeling it now and fairly sure some of you … [Read more...] about Who God Is
No, It’s Not Over
I’ve been a rule follower most of my life . . .
Until three years ago in March 2020.
In my 54 cycles around the sun, I’ve learned something profound.
I learned something I never thought I would say out loud . . . especially to my children . . .
Rules are meant to be broken.
Outside of the Big 10 … [Read more...] about No, It’s Not Over
You Are Too Old For Romance
The entire world believes that after a certain age, our need/yearning for a companion drizzles to nothing, and it all turns to bake cookies for grandkids, knitting, and petting cats in your lap. Mentioning anything more exciting than a soap opera cliffhanger or a new herbal tea brand is just out of the question.
I even dream of a warm and gentle man who is … [Read more...] about You Are Too Old For Romance
Why Do We Need Real Food?
When you visit your doctor, the first thing he usually asks is, "How are you feeling?" Keeping your list short is essential because he only has about five minutes to spend with you. Then he might ask, "Are you taking your medications?" If you say, "Yes, I am, but they make me tired, and my stomach is always upset. And I'm itching." Maybe he can give you something to control … [Read more...] about Why Do We Need Real Food?
Be Sure You Are Fighting The Right Battle
“When we think of the last great battle, we must realize that not only is the future at stake, but that in this present time we are engaged in a warfare. Already we are standing in the midst of the battle. If we have our eyes and ears open, we see how the Enemy is marching on all sides. We do not have to battle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the darkness … [Read more...] about Be Sure You Are Fighting The Right Battle
