Mum’s the Word Once again, the calendar says it is time to celebrate Mom. I asked the same question last year: why do we need a holiday to remember our beloved mothers? The Word of God says to honor thy father and mother as a commandment. Anna Jarvis, as a woman defined by her […]
Go Fish Does anyone play cards anymore? Do you remember the card game “Go Fish” from childhood? Getting the proper nutrients for our body is like the card game Go Fish. As I recall, the strategy of the card game was to collect a set of four cards of the same kind, and the game […]
Spring Is Here, and So Are Allergies One of the aspects I enjoy about not having a traditional desk job is the opportunity to be outside and relish the seasons as they change. Telltale signs that spring is here—empty roller coasters being tested at Hershey Park, the mulched lawns, the yellow daffodils, yellow forsythia bushes, […]
