All in Gods time.

At church last Sunday, we received a sermon from a visiting pastor. His Subject was "Trust the Process". The pastor who spoke has family ties to our church.

Why We Need Black History Month

My wife loves to push my buttons. She always asks me when white history month is. Whether I like it or not. It is a good question. My answer to my wife is always the same: Every month is White History Month. That fact is neither good nor bad. It is the truth. Most countries recognize their founding... Sign in to see full entry.

Where have all the good people gone.

I know I am on my soapbox again. What's wrong with our world? If you are honest, you have probably asked this question many times. Historically, a negative, selfish personality seems to be a ticket to success. I will not name any names. What is troubling, however, is that we see so many fans of... Sign in to see full entry.

Whats Next ?

The pain and pleasure of having lived for over six decades are challenging.

What Makes You Get Out of Bed ?

This question is often asked, yet it is often ignored. Yet, it is critical. I have been told I have a profound way of looking at life. Life is serious.

The Agony and Ecstacy of the Dedicated Sports Fan

I have always been a sports fan. It started with baseball. Next, basketball, and then football. Later, I became a fan of all sports. Once you pick your favorite team. You become possessed.

Is Anyone Really Listening?

Do you sometimes ask yourself if anyone is listening? It can be a scary question to ask. You want to know whether you are a child, adult, business owner, or employee. How do you know if others are listening? Back in 1995, working families went to Congress to protest wages. The divide between the... Sign in to see full entry.
