Some New Year's resolutions often include exercising, losing weight, and getting more organized. There are also some unusual ones. One resolution was to order every drink on a Starbucks menu. Another was to stop blaming things on the dog. New Year's resolutions can be helpful, but there are certain things we don't wait for a New Year to do. When the Lord puts it in our heart to make a change, we don't wait for a new year. Our commitment to Him is to love and please Him moment by moment. We do...

Twice this week I have watched an elderly individual fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in isle ‘6’. He struggled to navigate the supermarket traffic, going the wrong way in search of the item. As I watched him, I decided to leave my cart full of groceries to take him where he needed to go. Today, I watched an elderly man who had obviously fallen and left with a huge scrape and blood on his leg, struggle in the heat. He slowly walked past people in the c...
Clearing snow and ice from driveways, sidewalks and parking lots is no small job. You rely on your outdoor power equipment to do the heavy lifting, and it’s important to keep safety in mind.

First and foremost, review the owner’s manual for operating and safety procedures.

But the temperature began rising Sunday afternoon and, with an accompanying warm wind, reduced...
Continuing from December 12. Jim took a deep breath as he poured ipecac-spiked whiskey into glasses on the bar. He met June's fearful eyes as she arranged them on a tray and gave her a tiny smile. Behind her, the saloon was full of Deveney's gang. Jim gave her a nod, sending her off to the tables with another round of truly medicinal whiskey and took another deep breath. He hoped Moss knew what he was doing. Deveney's men had ridden into town the same as ever, running their horses straight down...
Social media has become such a key component of most people’s lives that it is easy to think that it as always been there.

The University of Maine reports there are now 4.8 billion social media users worldwide, representing 92.7 percent of all internet users.

As school boys some of us admired how our girl classmates were so adept at jumping rope during recess. We may have been more interested in playing kickball or wrestling on the grass, but some of us harbored admiration in our hearts for how the girls could jump rope! Recently I saw a video of a young lady named Kaylee who is a six-time world champion. While jumping rope she could do back flips, handstands, and cart wheels. She seemed joyful while doing such amazing tricks. It's hard to imagine...

Ten Years Ago December 31, 2014 Dear Friends, This is my final commentary for 2014-and my first as Senate Majority Leader, the person who leads the governing group of senators. The 25 other members of our Majority Coalition Caucus gave me that title early this month when we met to elect our leadership team for 2015-16. The stage is nearly set for next year's legislative session. As of this week we know what the governor's priorities are for 2015, and they don't look very much like the things...

“Few men have the virtue to withstand the highest bidder.” – George Washington...
A fellow who knocked at our door asked me where certain people lived in our Dayton neighborhood. He had grown up nearby. When I told him I didn't know any of the names he mentioned, he said, "Well, I guess what they say is true. Once you leave, you can never go home again". In the Christmas carol "Hark the Herald" the author writes, "Fix in us Thy humble home". The wonders of Christmas are personal to us because they speak of our home. We have the Lord in our lives, fixing His home in us. Jesus...
