CFC is Chlorofluorocarbons; and, they deplete the protective ozone layer around the earth. So, by December 31st of [...]

Support is a simple enough word; but, more importantly it is a powerful tool. My dictionary says this about support: To hold or bear weight, to tolerate, to give assistance, approval or aid.
Quite often we hear the word in association with divorce as in spousal or child support. This is usually in regards [...]

I don’t know who this is for…but, i felt compelled to write it today. If you are struggling to accomplish a goal…and are climbing your way to the top; and, you think you are almost there, as you breech the clear white peak of the hill, expecting the celebration of your victory, only to find another hill; [...]

Today was just a wildly, eventful day…a aero-med helicopter crashed into a major hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan and miraculously, no one was killed.
It was announced that Clay Aiken, a gifted singer, is going to be a father (congratulations Clay).
And, the wonderfully talented Harvey Korman (from the Carol Burnett television show fame) who brought [...]

It should have been a fairly local news story…however, a mayor from a fairly large metropolitan city in America who is being accused of felony charges of perjury and other assorted charges; throw in some secret behind the scene deal, allegedly made with lawyers regarding the officers who had recordings showing alleged proof of his salacious, [...]

A Kindergarten teacher in Indiana told a young 5 year old kindergartener, named Gabriel Ross, that he “tortured and tormented” her all year. Young Gabriel kept telling his mother and step-father that his teacher was mean to him. He said that other children didn’t like him because he was bad. Who told him he [...]

Up, Up, and away, in my beautiful, my beautiful balloon…that is how the old song goes (with a much better voice than i will ever have).

A new way of collecting physical evidence in rape cases is making news. It seems that many rape victims are leaving the medical setting; rather than, face another trauma of talking to; or, being interviewed by police after being raped. They are too frightened in some cases of dealing with the police; some are fearful of talking to police [...]

Memorial Day is always a bittersweet time to me. While people are out celebrating the day with picnics and parades…others are at the cemetaries; and many are mourning their own personal losses. Each and everyone of our freedoms in the United States were purchased by the blood and sweat of a service member from the beginning of [...]
