Isn’t There a Faster Way to Wait?
“Why does it take so long to get back my blood work?” “I have to hang on the whole weekend for the test results?” “What do you mean the doctor can’t see me until next week?” “This waiting is killing me!” Ever moaned any of these phrases? I sure have. I once made the mistake …

A Simple Way to be Healthier in 2018
So are you one of many people trying to eat healthier in the New Year? I’ve seen quite a few Facebook posts touting various plans: Whole 30, Clean-Eating, Volumetrics, Eat This Not That, and the 3-Day Military Diet, to name a few. Or are you one of the scores of folks aiming to exercise into a …

What do you want MORE of in 2018?
My 3-year-old granddaughter Abby is not the world’s best sleeper. She’s not the worst either, but definitely not as good as her brothers, ages 1 and 5. In fact she’s quite the master of “stalling” at bedtime and/or “needing” things in the middle of the night. You may be familiar with the toddlers’ universal …

My Dad vs. an Angry Mother Goose
Did I ever tell you about the time my father was attacked on a golf course? It’s true. After he retired, he worked part-time at a community golf course as a ranger riding one of those little golf carts. He knew there was a nesting goose on the course who had laid several eggs, …

The Day the Dog Walked on Water
Did you hear about the farmer who lived next door to a pessimist? If the farmer said “Isn’t is a beautiful sunny day?” the pessimist would reply, “We need rain.” If it rained and the farmer commented on how wonderful it was to have rain, the pessimist would reply, “It’ll probably ruin the crops.” …

What are you worried about?
What are you worried about today? That you’ll never feel normal again? That your spouse will be widowed? That your children will grow up without you? That this next holiday may be your last? You may even be worried that you worry so much! Holocaust survivor Corrie ten Boom once wrote “Worrying about tomorrow …

How Captain America Saved the Day for Me
As you can see I met Captain America recently—he actually stopped by my house the other day for a few hours. The Captain, a.k.a. grandson Benny, wanted to show me his new shield (Mommy, a.k.a. Wonder Woman-Shopper, found it in the Target clearance bin) and the pint-sized super hero clearly explained to me that …

Cancer Can’t Stop Her Joy!
My friend Bunnie is a redheaded, retired heavy equipment operator with a delightful New England accent who loves to laugh. On weekends she “clowns” around at the local Dairy Queen as she whips up balloons and smiles for children, while sharing God’s love for them. On weekdays she takes off her clown make-up and …

“Mother, PLEASE, I’d rather do it myself!”
Anybody else old like me and remember the 1965 Anacin pain reliever commercial shown here? I was a pre-teen when that commercial appeared on the screen of our little black-and-white TV (with the aluminum foil on the rabbit ears) and my mom and I thought it was hilarious. We would joke around and …

“Don’t count the days; make the days count.”–Muhammad Ali
Would you believe I met, shook hands with, and received a mini-apology from Muhammad Ali, aka “the Greatest”? In 1970, when I was a college freshman, my best friend, Jackie, and I went to hear Ali speak at our Mansfield branch campus of the Ohio State University. We were excited to …
