Religion calls today “Good Friday.” It is the day that remembers the crucifixion of Jesus. While many including myself recognize that it can’t be Good Friday because three days and nights in the grave with a crucifixion on Friday will not result in a Resurrection Sunday, it is still important for us to remember and… Read More »
A Healthy You
Today is National Triglycerides Day and a good opportunity to use a devotional as a public service announcement. This day was created in 2018 as way to get people to consider one of the many health issues developing in America. TIME reports that “Triglycerides are a type of fat (or lipid) naturally made in your… Read More »
The Simplicity of Childhood
I don’t know about you, but I need a bit of a lighter devotional since the last three days have been a bit hard hitting. So, let’s sit back and let me take your minds back to easier, simpler, and memorable days. Think about when you were little, or your kids were little. My guess… Read More »
Don’t Get On The Space Ship
Without purposefully trying, it seems the last three days’ worth of devotions have fallen in the same theme. Yesterday, I mentioned cult leader Jim Jones.

Even though the Americans and Russians fought against the Germans in WWII, America still had a distrust for Russia because of their dictatorial leader, Joseph Stalin, and their communistic ideology. Rumors had been swirling that the “commies” had infiltrated… Read More »
Memories
Someone has wisely said that memories are the treasures that you never want to lose. Sadly, many Americans lose those treasures. “About 1 in 9 people (10.8%) age 65 and older has Alzheimer’s dementia. The percentage of people with Alzheimer’s dementia increases with age: 5.0% of people age 65 to 74, 13.1% of people age… Read More »
A New Thing
Do you know what yesterday was? I’m sure you do because we have longed for it all winter. Yesterday was the first day of spring! There is something exhilarating about this time of year.
