It’s Tough to Give Up Old Ways!
A few months back my buddy had a heart attack. It was pretty serious and it was touch and go for a while there. He has always been a hard worker, with a bit of a short fuse, but all in all a great friend.
What I’m getting at is that for years he was completely focused on his immediate goals and needs. Rarely had time to visit his kids; worked hard dawn til dusk and pushed himself intensely.
Well, I had the opportunity to spend time with him over the past week and

Amusing Writings: IS STUPIDITY A LEARNED PECULIARITY?
I know I wasn’t always stupid. I have little pieces of paper, somewhere, that say I wasn’t. It seems I actually attended institutions of learning. And wrote and passed exams. That is what the papers say anyway. I apparently found the institution, found the correct building and the right classroom. Now, I get confused in shopping malls.
My memory that so often shames me, refuses to let go of one memory, a time at the Mic Mac Mall, in Dart… Continue

Men vs. Women—Even Our Hearts Are Different!
What’s the number #1 killer of women in the U.S.? Not breast cancer, as you might think, but heart disease. Some 6.4 million women in the U.S. have heart disease. Although pre-menopausal women seldom have heart attacks, post-menopausal women whose… Continue

Comment please--negatively and/or positively--I need all feedback!
Once upon a time, there were two trees. They shared the earth and spread their roots into the dark, rich earth. Each spring filled their branches with green foliage. With the coming of summer, the trees would display bountiful bunches of beautiful yellow flowers. These flowers would remain until the fall when they would produce many clouds of seeds and a friendly breeze would spread these seeds throughout the region.
The years passed. One of the trees… Continue

Postcards from Pennsylvania - Wrap Up
The overnight rain on Saturday had just let up by morning and the streets of Harrisonburg, Virginia were drying out. The skies were still quite overcast and threatened more rain. We all decided to sleep in until about 9:00, just this one time. The only plan for the

The Touchstone
When the great library of Alexandria burned, the story goes, one book was saved. But it was not a valuable book; and so a poor man, who could read a little, bought it for a few coppers. The book wasn’t very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of vellum on which was written the secret of the “Touchstone”!
The touchstone was a small pebble that could turn any common metal into pure gold. The writing explained that it

Hallelujah?
Of all the versions of this Leonard Cohen song floating around cyberspace I think this one by Jeff Buckley is the best. Cohen has done a few versions of it himself. Some I prefer more than others.

True Fromance
A few years back, some canny soul coined the term “TomKat”, and a fad was born. But no, it wasn’t a fad. Today, people are portmanteauing all over the place. Portmanteau is the very dignified term used to describe combining two words to form a new one. And so, it is in that spirit that I created the term fromance. Thinking myself quite clever to invent such a catchy new word, I set to work on this piece, only to discover that fromance has been in the urban dictionar

Don’t You Just Wish?
Don’t you just wish?
That every day cast a ray of sunshine upon your life,
That every day the pot of gold at your rainbow came alive,
That every night empowered your dreams from a moon beam from a far,
Don’t you just wish?
That each day caressed your soul with the warmth of a gentle breeze,
That each day carried away the sadness you wear upon your sleeve,
That each night your wish arrived on the tail off a falling star,

I have to agree.
I belong to a church group and we are going all out to raise money to help in this terrible disaster.
When I heard that the Indian community had raised only 50,000 all together I was also alarmed.
Can this really be true?

Sometimes I Just Don’t Get It
I rarely discuss religion in a public forum, but this needs to be addressed by everyone in the West – well at least in my opinion.
Right now 1/5 of Pakistan is under water and 97% of Pakistani people are Muslim. The country that is providing the most humanitarian aid is the USA and that is the best way to fight terrorism.
Really, if the West is seen as the good guys in this situation, they win the support of the masses over there, and that needs

One Little Suggestion
Once upon a time, there was a king that ruled a prosperous country.
One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he came back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very sore. It was the first time that he had gone for such a long trip, and the road that he went on was very rough and stony.
So he ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather.
Definitely, to do this job would require tho
