Dr. Norris J. Chumley Satisfied Life

In my car commute this morning, after trying to merge back onto the highway and being made to wait by lots of selfish motorists, I am reminded of the Golden Rule.  “Do unto others as you want them to do unto you.” Gosh, I’d just stopped at a gas station and was trying to make…

In an interview for our movie, “Mysteries of the Jesus Prayer” I conducted with V.Rev. John McGuckin in Egypt, at St. Antony’s Monasery, the spiritual master, Father Lazarus (perfect name for him), said, “Wisdom has to be something you live, not something you learn. You cannot just come to the classroom and have a lecture…

A few years back our son, so excited to be on his high school varsity basketball team in his senior year, finally explained to me what the team cheered over and over. I’d heard it from their huddle a million times, but it was an indistinguishable, testosterone filled teenage male battle cry that came out…

I’ve written about gastric bypass surgery before.  I’m against it — it’s dangerous!  You hear a lot about the wonders of drastic, dramatic weight loss from it, and see ads for it all over, but what you don’t hear are the negatives.  There are a lot of people who have suffered extreme complications from having…

There are so many get thin quick diets out there, and we all know that losing weight and getting thinner is anything but quick, right? We did not put the fat on fast. It took time. Years in many instances. We just cannot expect to lose it faster than we gained it. Therefore, get thin…

I’ve occasionally run into the Big hit TV show, “America’s Funniest Home Videos” while channel surfing. People send in their videos, and millions of people laugh at them. It’s mostly scenes of people hurting themselves, such as a guynon a trampoline falling and landing between his legs. The audience roars. I felt just the opposite,…

Interestingly enough, there are times when pleasurable activities really cause us pain. There are of course many instances of this, but let me go over a really clear pleasure/pain case study with you today. I know a nice lady in her mid 70’s who is very healthy, except for a couple of chronic illnesses, stomach…

Yes, I’m not feeling well again today, and admittedly a bit cranky, but gosh, I’m watching the morning news right now as I write, and I’m not only upset, I’m really worried. This situation in Japan, with the four nuclear reactors is appalling. There’s a possible breach of the containment vessel, with “mox fuel” a…

I’ve posted very late today, as I have been a bit under the weather. After working so hard, and under a lot of stress, I have had a sinus problem turn in to an infection. I went to the doctor, who said I needed to drink much more water, and also rinse my nostrils. Also,…

Hard to believe but McDonalds has killed off their kiddie mascot, Ronald McDonald and his fatty, salty cohorts Mayor McCheese and the Hamburgular. They relalize that marketing to kids isn’t as lucrative as selling coffee gourmet drinks to adults clearly is. Not that there are no plans, or death sentences for them. Just that they’re…
