American Addiction
We have all wrestled with whether to give money to panhandlers at a red light. Often holding signs that proclaim the need for work or food, when offered work or food they say “just need some cash for gas now”. Do we assume they’re addicted to something? Maybe they’ve just latched on to a tax-free…

Words For Your Younger Self
A phrase keeps repeating in my recent reads, thoughts and prayers> It’s ‘ancient paths’. Were we ever meant to walk these modernized roads?

It’s Not Our Fault
I want to ask some questions and I might add a little ‘healthcare’ rant so it doesn’t hurt my feelings if you read no further, but I feel compelled to be more vocal about what is wrong with ‘medicine’ today. Nope, I’m not a doctor. Just like we aren’t all epidemiologists or biologists but we…

Put Your Health in Your Own Hands!
A while ago, I had a little rant on healthcare being a misnomer or oxymoron. Whatever you want to call it, I still contend modern day healthcare is anything but ‘caring for our health’.
