I just had a letter to the editor of two local newspapers returned to me with less than convincing reasons why they didn't want to publish it. It made me realize that most news media outlets don't want to deal with the unpopular topics, especially if those topics are not in alignment with their political … Continue reading Unpopular Topics?
Prognosis
If you have watched the times President Trump has addressed the nation about the COVID-19 virus, one thing he made a point of is protecting our elderly, not just those living at home, but in senior care centers and nursing homes, etc. He has ordered different departments to work with private sector insurance companies, labs, … Continue reading Prognosis
Personal Note on Coronavirus

Hidden In Love
In 1890 Fanny Crosby (Frances J.) composed a wonderful hymn called He Hideth My Soul.

He was concerned; this … Continue reading Hidden In Love
