Why Dogs Bring Joy Amidst Chaos

Why Dogs Bring Joy Amidst Chaos

Comments 1 comment

The news outlets keep telling us that people have become more violent in recent years. Certainly, their manners have deteriorated. Trying to maintain older ideas of proper behavior is becoming more and more difficult. Sometimes I find myself distressed by the lack of consideration shown to customers when shopping, or drivers in traffic, or even on campuses where students disrespect professors and administration in ways unheard of half a century ago. It distresses me and can cause my temper to…

Charlie Kirk: A Martyr for Free Speech and Faith

Charlie Kirk: A Martyr for Free Speech and Faith

Charlie Kirk: A Martyr for Free Speech and Faith in an Age of Cancel Culture and One-Sided Violence. There has been much written on this subject but I want to add my voice in tribute to this man. On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was tragically assassinated at Utah Valley University during the kickoff of his “American Comeback Tour.” Shot in the neck by 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, a left-leaning and clearly highly disturbed…

The Seeds We Plant with Our Words

Why even the smallest expressions can grow into something powerful and lasting The Power of Planting a Seed As we arrived at my parents-in-law’s house for Thanksgiving many years ago, I saw something extraordinary. A bamboo plant had forced its way up through five inches of black macadam. I could hardly believe it. Only a small green shoot showed itself, but it was an impressive feat. On another occasion, on vacation in the south of France, I came across another…

Cities in Turmoil: What Next?

Cities in Turmoil: What Next?

Comments 0 Comment

What is happening in the cities is disturbing; I am glad I live in a smaller town. I just read that there are “a huge number of gangs, 144 gangs in Memphis”.  Memphis!  Not Chicago or Philly.  Chicago is home to 117,000 gang members.” What are these people doing? Why are gangs growing? Who can stop this? The young people grouping together into gangs most likely need to belong. Humans are herd animals. With families so fractured, young people need…

Elan Musk has been asked by the President of the United States to find where the missing money has gone. He has been asked to trim the amount of money spent by the government. He has been given the authority to do this. He was not elected; he was appointed. The “talking heads” on the political Left keep asking for proof of what the DOGE group finds. Why are they asking for this? Do they think that Elon Musk and…

I am excited (cautiously) that all the things that President Trump was elected to change and “fix” are actually changing and getting fixed. It is extraordinary. And the fact that Democrats and RINOs are crying foul when all this corruption is being uncovered at USAID, for example, really bothers me. It is not a good look for them. Complaining about Elon Musk accessing our social security numbers is silly and uninformed. The fact that anything his team sees is “read-only”…

Dr. Fauci Belongs in Jail Dr Fauci belongs in Jail. Because of him, we were threatened, shamed, sworn at, disparaged,canceled, and spit upon (literally). Because of him hundreds of thousands of people died. Dr Fauci said, “You will never shake hands again.” What an evil man. He knew all the time because he was funding the experiments done in the Wuhan lab. Is iteven remotely possible that he believes any of his own hype?Do you think he realizes the number of lives…

Have you heard hateful things about the recent massive rally in New York at Madison Square Garden? People are frightened about the election. Does Donald Trump scare you? It is shocking what is being said by people who were not there and did not watch it on T.V. or computers. People say the rally at Madison Square Garden is a recreation of the 1939 event supporting Hitler. However, not all the uses of this arena are political. The same place…

People are different!Our world is really fractured. We don’t know what is real and what is just hype. It seems likethere is even more racial tension and more hate than when I grew up in a true segregationtime. Of course, we are not allowed to tell the truth. The truth is unsavory and definitely not“politically correct.” Black people and white people are different in some ways. Does thatshock you? Italians are different from the French and even more from people…

Where will you live when you get Dementia?

The other day, a woman sitting next to me at the prayer group I attend asked me a question: “Where will you live when you have dementia?” I thought that was a pretty awful question because nobody wants to mention it. But it made me think. Where will I live if (not when) I get dementia? It is probably too late to get into a retirement community. These places want to have you as early as they can. I absolutely…

The entire Democrat party seems oblivious to the evil in their own party while constantly pointing out Trump’s well-documented flaws. Yes, we know he is a narcissist and that he speaks in weird sentences at a third-grade level. So what? He has already been president, and I think he did a great job. When people say, “We must NOT let him become President.” I remind them that he already was.Considering that he is NOT a politician (one of his best…

When my mother reached the age of 80, we thought little of it. Of course, she was older, but so what? She did not look it, and she was happy. She was in love with a childhood sweetheart whom she married at 81. Mother never mentioned much about aging to me. She was interested in her clothes, the jewels that matched them, her dogs, her friends, and her family.She was a happy person who rarely ever complained about her own…

This title was inspired by Margaret Anna Alice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueUXNL-A3Zg Through the Looking Glass. Her poem of the same name has gone viral. We simply must pay more attention to what is all around us. People are so complacent about the very situation they are in. It seems normal, but much of what we do today is completely new and would have once been thought of as insane. We have become a people who choose safety over freedom. We need to…

For most of my life, I have wondered why the Germans acted as they did between the warsand, of course, in the time immediately before the war. Why and how did they idolize Hitler,who promised to Make Germany Great Again? And how they could just pretend it was all rightto exclude Jews from their lives and, in fact, get rid of them.How was it possible?I never could understand it until I experienced what happened during Covid.People gave up their autonomy…

There is a story about a teacher who took a live fish out of its bowl of water, and then left it on the desk. The teacher told the children they would be expelled if anyone left their seat. Then he left the room. The poor fish gasped and twisted with a classroom of children watching, as it flopped around…All of the children sat and watched as the fish struggled, gasping for life, wanting to be back in the water….
