Positive post Sunday, November 27, 2022- Week 300. 300!!! As the saying goes, “time flies when you’re having fun”, or my version, “Time flies when you’re serving the Lord”.

Positive post Sunday, November 20, 2022- Week 299.

Positive post Sunday, October 16, 2022- Week 295. It’s my belief that every citizen has a responsibility to serve their community in some way, that’s what differentiates strong and thriving communities from others. I cannot imagine a community without volunteers in our churches, schools, police and fire departments, on commissions, leading our nonprofit organizations, and…
Positive post Sunday, October 9, 2022- Week 294. We all have memories of our past, some we wish we could erase or go back in time and change the outcome, but many are fond memories we cherish. For those of us up in years, I find it fascinating to look way back to our childhood…
Positive post Sunday, October 2, 2022- Week 293. Today marks the 2-year anniversary of my 3rd lease on life, surviving a horrific bicycle accident (See PPS Week 241). My family and close friends know that this was the second time in my life the good Lord decided it was not my time to go! To…
