Dr. Norris J. Chumley Satisfied Life

As I had a rather large birthday lunch and dinner, I’m having less breakfast this morning.  I’m writing less, too, until the Beliefnet blog is repaired, which they assure me, work is being done on it!  Keep coming back!

As I wait for B-net to fix the problems-I’m counting my blessings.  1- today is my birthday. 2-I’m alive and well 3- God loves me.  Out of room!

I apologize – the “Dr. Norris Chumley Satisfied Life” blog is having some technical problems.  Beliefnet is working on it.  We hope to have it fixed very soon.  I miss writing for you – and reading your comments!  Dr. Norris

Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post mentioned scientific studies about a link between a virus, Adenovirus-36, which causes respiratory problems and obesity. There have been dozens of subsequent research studies on this possible (or impossible) link. After a little more research, I see that this has come up several times, as far back…

The word for “corn” is “succotash” from the native language of the Narragansett Indians. Originally from their word, msiquatash (broken pieces), succotash has become known as a mixture of different vegetables, especially corn, peppers and beans, and often served as a late-summer or autumn side dish.  I remember having it many a time in my…

I went to a wonderful church in Indiana yesterday, and there was a hymn “God is Able.”  The choir was heavenly, and the soloist fantastic.  The lyrics spoke of God being able to move mountains, solve all troubles, and help us pass the many tests of life, brought floods of tears to me. God is…
