I cannot remember the Looney Tunes character who so beautifully ( even with a slight lisp) sings the sweet old song (one of those we do not often hear). Still, it went like this, "While strolling through the park one day, in the merry month of May, I was taken by surprise...." After that, a light romantic tune followed. May must have been a good month for Elmer Fudd or Porky … [Read more...] about The Merry Month Of May And June Is Bustin’ Out All Over!

The Dangers of Dehumanizing Each Other
“In January 2008, Random House published Zimbardo’s impressive yet chilling study on the subject in a book titled The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil. In it, Zimbardo, who was called as an expert psychologist to testify during the trial of one of the Abu Gharib guards, dismantled what happened at that military facility while also reflecting … [Read more...] about The Dangers of Dehumanizing Each Other
6 Easy Ways to Eat Healthy
This month I will share ways to stay healthy. I'm sure you'll be able to relate and find an idea or two to help you stay on track.
Clear out your pantry, fridge, and freezer of food items you know aren't good food choices. Give food away to family or friends or give non-perishable items to a local food bank.

I live in an area surrounded by 50+ retirement communities. My locality has a large number of retirees as well as many young families with children.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD: PART 1
First, my friends, there’s not one word written here that isn’t a reflection in a spiritual mirror I hold up for myself, as well as discuss with my LORD Messiah Jesus to help me with. Anything covered here that applies or may apply to you, please know it applies to me too.

Things We Take for Granted
We live in a convenience-based society, and I like to refer to many conveniences as "first-world problems".
Recently, our high-tech Samsung washing machine, which just about makes coffee, had a mechanical failure. My immediate remedy was to go to YouTube for a fix. Of course, I found many people with the same issue and offered their solution to unplug the washer for … [Read more...] about Things We Take for Granted
Yuk! I Can’t Eat That Stuff!
I probably bore many readers with my constant yapping about the crappy diet most of us eat regularly. I won't do that this time -- you will love the positive video I'm offering this month.
Remember the old cereal commercial featuring the cute kid Mikey, who was coaxed into eating a new junky cereal and finally decided he liked it. The battle cry became, "Mikey Likes … [Read more...] about Yuk! I Can’t Eat That Stuff!
Krazy Faith and Yes! Krazy with a “K”
My last ICU vacation was less than three weeks ago. Every two years or so, the walls of my colon spring a leak, and I am hemorrhaging in a not-so-lady-like fashion where they rush me off to ER and onto the hooks, lines, and sinkers in both arms that pump me full of units of blood, and other life-sustaining fluids.
I lay there like a punctured inner tube (remember … [Read more...] about Krazy Faith and Yes! Krazy with a “K”
Nobody Will Notice?
One of the unknowns facing many soon-to-be retirees is "How soon will I run out of money after my last paycheck?" Sometimes It doesn't seem important to many facing an unknown future. They are tired of years of doing the 9-5 thing; all that matters is finally living on their terms. Often, the money issue comes down to "I won't need as much money in retirement. I won't be … [Read more...] about Nobody Will Notice?
