Nov. 8 Election Candidates Running Time is winding down for those preparing to run for public office in this year's November elections. Many currently seated are seeking re-election. What is most concerning are some with questionable voting histories that do not always reflect the communities which have elected them to office.

One can see why Republicans in Congress don’t like investigative hearings about Republican misconduct when they are not in charge of Congress, as evident of them largely being silent as the opening rounds of the Jan. 6 insurrection is over. They don’t talk about it only to say that the American people want Congress “to tackle the issues” that Americans care about. They somehow forget that when President Joe Biden tried to do just that, Republican cooperation was almost non-existent. They were too busy licking their chops because of the 6-3 con...

Matthew 25:1-13 My youngest has the biggest heart ever, but she is very straight forward and does not mind at all expressing how she feels. I often wonder how I ended up seeing my grandmother in my child so much. I have many stories I could tell of my daughter, but this is one that really touched me in a profound way: My daughter and her friend wait for the bus together on school mornings. My daughter was watching for the bus, when her friend decided to go back and get something she left,...

The transition to a new grade signifies kid growth for them. The beginning of a new school year marks transitional periods that they can actually see. Before the school year officially begins, take time to talk with kids and provide perspective on the blessing of beginning something again or...
Everyone gets tired, it’s natural and very human. However, it becomes an issue when we allow that to consume us and when we don’t rest. When I say rest, I don’t mean taking a nap for a few hours and then getting up and participating in something that made you take that nap in the first place. I say this because I do it almost every day, and I’m always drained by the end of the day. When I say rest, I mean taking an entire day to do nothing. It sounds silly, especially if you're a busy person but...
