Remember normal people? Quite a few years back, I remember hearing my father-in-law mention how he mowed the lawn for “an old lady” down the street. For free. Not as part of business or anything like that. He was already retired. No, he just did it to help her out. Because she didn’t have any children or other family dropping in on her to … Read the rest…

Yeah, sometimes the bad guys win When the goalposts are pushed further and further back, it’s no wonder justice can’t “score”anymore.

Because there’s so much security in freedom. When I … Read the rest…
Are you a worry wart? My mom is 82. She lives in eastern Kansas. And we talk a couple of times a week, by phone. By her own admission, she’s a worry wart.

Ah, thank goodness for our benevolent government. Not! All around social media and news channels you’ll see talk of a “stimulus package.” And it’s supposed to throw gazillions of dollars out to “we, the people.” You’ll also see so-called “leaders” in congress debating over how much money and who to give it to.
