A Toothless Grin

One of my top left teeth has been bothering me for more than a year. Today I had it removed. About two years ago, I had my first regular tooth extraction. Before that, only my wisdom teeth had been extracted. It is getting scary now. It appears that I will need to get a bridge to fill the gap in my... Sign in to see full entry.

Music Mission Accomplished

Once upon a time, my church had a nice-sized men's chorus. Time eventually took its toll on our membership. Some members moved. Other members lost interest. And some members have passed away. On Father's Day Sunday, our director made a plan to stimulate interest. He decided to create a quintet for... Sign in to see full entry.

A Fathers Role in Teaching us Right from Wrong

I am thankful for this Father's Day. My father passed away in 2015. Yet he still lives loudly in my heart and mind. As I have aged. I realize how important he was to my values. He was an excellent father. When I was younger, I thought he was the meanest man in the world. Dad was very old school.... Sign in to see full entry.

We Cant Do It all At Once

Looking back on the past, I realized that I had a bad habit of trying to accomplish my goals and tasks simultaneously. Then one day, after gaining some experience. Researching how others achieve their goals. I got a clue. There is a well-known saying that we have all heard at least once. " How do... Sign in to see full entry.

A Reverse Bucket List

As I grow older and reflect on all the things I have done, I am overwhelmed. I forget about the many ways the Lord has blessed me. At the same time, it is hard for me to do nothing. I have always had a drive to do more. I discovered that I am a 'very goal-oriented' type of person. On the morning... Sign in to see full entry.

Completing Your Goals Are Easier Said Then Done

This week, I am blessed to have a little downtime. However, I find myself unmotivated. I have a long list of tasks that I need to complete. Yet every time I get some time. I end up wasting time on other things. I have written down my to-do list, and I even use an app to remind me. So I continue to... Sign in to see full entry.

However, Memorial Day is best known for marking the beginning of summer, our first three-day weekend for the summer. Now, I value having a holiday. But if I don't honor those who sacrificed their lives... Sign in to see full entry.

AM I The Only One

Recently, I have been in an ongoing war with gravity, not with my balance but with inanimate objects. It seems that gravity has taken sides against me. It is the craziest thing. When I was younger, I had no issues with placing a glass or a coffee mug on a flat or even slightly slanted surface. They... Sign in to see full entry.
