So oft these days I see posts on FaceBook desiring to return to “simpler times”. Someone commented on one of these that those times weren’t actually simpler. My mind travels back to girlhood when I would spend hours at my grandparent’s house pouring through their pile of Good Old Days magazines. I would try to … More The Good OLD DAYS
Two score and eighteen years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. made his renowned I Have A Dream speech. Fifty-eight years later Americans have lost sight of what he declared that sweltering day as he stood proudly in the shadow of President Lincoln’s memorial.

Recently, I have been binge watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. While watching an episode in the sixth season, the Klingon character Worf, was struggling with his faith and whether or not there really is a Sto-vo-kor or heaven. All organized religions on Earth seem to have some sort of afterlife woven into their tenet. Some … More The Way To Heaven
There are so many ways this post could go, given the title I have chosen. We could explore William Shakespeare’s play Romeo And Juliet where he penned the oft used quad of words.

I was just looking through my old posts and it seems I began writing blog posts for/just after New Year a few years back. Guess this means it is either a tradition or a habit.

Not long ago, I was watching a television show where a scientist was working on an important project related to the characters in the program. She paused and said, “E pur si muove.
