Small Town America

    A few weeks ago I wrote a news blog about Americans becoming a bunch of liars.  My source was the CBS Early Show.  This week they have had an incredible story about honesty.  It seems that the Smith family went to a hockey game in Minnesota.  During the break they had a special event. …

    As children we used to sing this little tune, ” Doctor, Doctor can you tell what will make poor Jimmy well?  He is sick and going to die.  Doctor, Doctor tell me why.”   Back then, most families had one doctor.  If they needed a surgeon, their family doctor would    recommend one.  Our medical issues were much…

     Have you ever met anyone who didn’t know that difference between a porterhouse steak and a pork loin?  I have, my husband.  Well, he does now, but when we first got married 42 years ago he didn’t.  The first time we went to the grocery store,  I asked him what kind of meat he…

       Exodus 20:12 is said to be the first commandment with promise.  It says, “Honor thy father and thy mother; that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God hath given thee.”  We would say, honor your father and mother so you can enjoy a long life.      Sometimes honoring…

      Have you seen the recent television commercial for AT&T movie downloads?  It shows a family, parents and two children.  The children are both under 12 years old, or so it would seem.  They sit on the sofa listening to their parents.  There is only one movie download left and they are about to decide who…

     People in America seem to think that we are entitled to be happy and satisfied all the time.  We buy bigger houses, faster cars, new clothes and furniture, and so much more.  We just have to have the latest electronic gadget or game system.  Maybe a nice trip to the Bahamas or an Alaskan…

    Physicians  Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) in Washington, DC believe that there is evidence that hot dogs can promote cancer.  They claim hot dogs should come with a warning label similar to cigarettes.  Processed meats, like hot dogs, can increase your risk for diabetes, heart disease, and some forms of cancer.     America runs on…

     A few weeks ago we had almost the whole family together and the cousins were having a ball playing together.  They range from 18 to 4 years old, but that doesn’t matter when you are family.  This is especially true when we don’t get to see each other often.    The occasion was the…

     “Pure and holy ways”, that’s what polygamist, Warren Jeffs, says about his lifestyle.  In 2008 the authorities raided their compound in Eldorado, TX.  This was amidst allegations of young girls being forced into polygamist marriages, many to men who were much older.  More than 400 children were taken from the compound, but were eventually…

     Today, in New York City, people got a surprise as they walked down Fifth Ave. Way up high on a swanky apartment building sat a peacock.  He remained calm, cool, and collected as he surveyed the New York sky line.  Apparently he was enjoying the view and his new found freedom.      It seems that…
