Recently, I was talking with someone who used to work for a major drug company. Among the comments he made was the fact that the drug testing isn’t what it should be before drugs are released to the public. This is scary. Unfortunately, I grew up in a household where the answer for pain or… Continue reading Drugs are Good
Know and Hear
Do you not know? Have you not heard?The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar… Continue reading Know and Hear
Garbage
We’ve all heard the saying ‘garbage in, garbage out.’ How far do you take it though? I have to say I feel worse when I’m eating unhealthy, watching the wrong shows, reading inappropriate books, or even when I see negative things on social media. But how much is too much? Eating healthy for me and… Continue reading Garbage
The Rawlings
When I was a kid, I loved to go to Joelton, TN and visit my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins. They owned a farm where we would fish, play with frogs, run in the garden, and drink the sweetest tea you’ve ever tasted. There was one place we’d go with them that was best of all.… Continue reading The Rawlings
The Mind
I read a book once called Still Alice about a woman with early onset Alzheimers. A movie was made taken from this book, so it is a good read especially if you know someone who has or had dementia. The book tells the daily life of a college professor, and it leads you to believe… Continue reading The Mind
The Bubbler
Have you ever been really, really thirsty? Has your head begun to ache and you realized you’re probably dehydrated? Thankfully, it isn’t difficult for us Americans to get water. Most businesses have water fountains from which we can drink, or we can go to a restaurant’s drive-through and get a glass of water. There’s another… Continue reading The Bubbler
The Little Things
I cannot imagine being blind. The only way to get a glimpse of how it would be is to close our eyes, but even then light gets through. We take for granted the little things like our sight. We are so used to having them, we forget to thank God for them. Fanny Crosby was… Continue reading The Little Things
Remember
As we begin a new year today, take the time to remember. Remember the good times and the bad. Remember those who have gone from this life. Remember others may be hurting but not revealing it. Remember yourself. Love yourself; because you cannot love others the way you should until you do. Do all the… Continue reading Remember
Psalm 23
God, my shepherd! I don’t need a thing.You have bedded me down in lush meadows, you find me quiet pools to drink from.True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction. Even when the way goes through Death Valley,I’m not afraid when you walk at my side.Your trusty shepherd’s crook makes me feel secure.… Continue reading Psalm 23
The Appointments
We all have an appointment, actually two, waiting for us whether we know it or not. Yesterday, Christmas Day, we went to visit our Granny, Gerry Burton. It was not only Christmas Day but also her birthday. She turned 102 years old! She no longer gets out of the bed. Diapers are one of her… Continue reading The Appointments
