I’ve heard it a lot since things got tight in our economy over the past 3 or 4 years. There are people who have downsized the home they live in or the car they drive. Many businesses have downsized as well. It has something to do with trimming the numbers down to a more manageable…
I love this time of year when the “boys of fall” play football. I have 25 ESPN Channels (ok only 8 –lol) to watch just about any game that’s playing on a collegiate or professional level. During the course of game, there may be a pivotal moment when the moment shifts and one team moves…
I have this fear of snakes. They simply freak me out. I don’t get how people can have one as a pet. I mean – they don’t have personality like a cat or dog right? I also know what it’s like to fear something I can’t see – like cancer. I watched my son do…
I spend some time each day making plans for that particular day. In fact, I have a calendar program on my phone and iPad that reminds me of where I’m supposed to be when. In fact, I had an appointment on Tuesday that got moved to today because the person I was meeting with had…

At night I love for my room to be cool so that I can get under lots of cover to sleep. Now this does make it hard to get up and get moving because it’s so warm under the cover and cold when I get up. I’m thinking of other types of covering that we…
My parents taught me the difference between right and wrong at a very early age. It’s not uncommon to see people do something wrong. I have tried to live right more than wrong over the years. I discovered that my actions come out of my heart. There are times when heart is self-centered. Self-centered s…
I’ve had bad days before after receiving some bad news. I’ve had really bad days when the bad news comes in waves. Isaiah speaks of “a terrible day” that is coming. A lot will change on that day. Check this out…. 11 Proud people will be made humble, and they will bow low with…
There are times when I’m working outside in the yard and it’s time for lunch. The first thing to do before sitting down to lunch is to “wash up”. My hands are soiled from work and should be clean before touching the food I’m about to eat. Now, if I were going out to dinner…
