Some odd things I have encoun­tered over the last few days to share…Com­ing back to Iowa from the cities Sun­day night we drove into fog maybe 20 miles north of the MN/IA bor­der. It was VERY thick. About 10 miles from home we drove out of it. One minute we could not see 3 feet. […]

I have been want­ing to write for days about a trend engulf­ing this coun­try that I find hard to under­stand. Since when did get­ting old become wrong? We all do it. It is inevitable. Yet there are mil­lions of ads on TV, on the radio, in mag­a­zines, about how to “stop the aging process”. Well, […]

I am work­ing at mak­ing sure I start each day with some daily read­ings. Once upon a time I was quite faith­ful about it, then I quit, then I real­ized how much I missed them. The other day the quote on the bot­tom of one of the pages was, “We should have much peace if […]
