As a Canadian, I like to take trips across the border into the United States. A change in scenery or climate and the variety in shopping is always refreshing. The only draw back is the exchange rate. Our Canadian dollar is only worth 76 cents in the USA. It seems frustrating to work hard for your money and then lose a chunk of it before you even leave home. How different the trip will be for those whose sins are forgiven and are ready for Heaven. The Bible tells true...
As I have experienced life for 50 years now, I have seen many forms of exercise. As I have struggled with my own weight and talked to people in the health field, I have come to these conclusions: 1) The environment we spend our time in will determine how we express our need for physical exercise. 2) When we exercise it brings health to our physical bodies and our physical hearts. 3) Movement is movement and all movements count as exercise. Even when I take a small look at the...
Brown Wusswaquatomineug (Walnut) Bread Walnuts, both black walnuts and butternuts, were prized by the Narragansetts in the Northeast for their oils.

Before she was even a teen, Chelsea had a cell phone. She also soon had her own room complete with a smart TV and her choice of streaming services. By the time she was a young teen, she had all the glam girl trappings like artificial tans and salon treatments that made her look much older than she was. By the time Chelsea was 14, a new car sat in the driveway, just waiting for her to get her driving permit. So by the time she was 15, Chelsea pretty much had it all and was...
Insults. There are some funny ones out there. In one of the most famous, a very angry Lady Astor said to Sir Winston Churchill: "If you were my husband, I'd put poison in your tea." Churchill didn't blink. He just said: "If you were my wife, I'd drink it." Groucho Marx once told his host, "I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it." My friend likes to say, "The last thing I wanna' do is hurt you; but it's still on the list." Few things can harm others more...

The Battle By Adrian Torres The shadowy figure stood there, its back to me. I pretended like I was sleeping, as I thought of a plan to trap it. This time it would not escape! Ad Seg (the Hole) is not the tidiest place. In a regular building, inmates are assigned to clean, sweep, and mop several times a day, but there is no such luxury in the Hole. Since the task of cleaning falls on the officers, it's rare that any gets done. Many families of rodents, roaches, spiders and who-...
"I'll never forget the first night my boyfriend hit me," Charlotte recalls thoughtfully, tracing a heart pattern on her frosty Coke glass. "I don't know why I was surprised; he'd threatened to often enough. I sat and cried like I'd never stop. He wrapped his arms around me and began saying how sorry he was. At first I ran away from him, but eventually, I let him put my head on his shoulder while I cried. "He begged for forgiveness. He said he had just lost his head . . . it wo...
