It’s the question that stirs anxiety. It’s the “in between time” of the doctor saying, “it could be…” and the doctor saying days later, “the test reveals….” It’s the time delay between taking the test and when the scores are posted. It’s the not-knowing. Our todays are full of unknowns. But are they? Think about …

“Just ignore it…it’ll go away!”
It’s Sunday and Monday morning is coming. The alarm will go off, and you will hit the floor running. After the chaos of everyone getting dressed & off to school and work, you stop at the drive-thru to get your daily caffeine push with a “Blondie” brew. You come through the doors at work like …
How Much Can You Carry?
Early spring always brought trailers loaded with seed and fertilizer. Hopefully, the trucks arrived in the cool of the morning We didn’t have forklifts to unload the truck; we had Robert and the other men at the farm. I liked the seed delivery better because of the smaller 30-pound bags. Fertilizer came in 65- & …
“Az mir daf schlogen a hunt, canst funnen a schtekl.”
It is incredible how God works! Over 25 years ago, while on a late-night flight I had an incredible conversation with an elderly Jewish man. He was full of “people wisdom.” He gave me a piece of wisdom that has been carried with me until this day. He summed up his thoughts on dealing with …

Looking For Truth?
Truth…it’s getting harder to find. Never in mankind’s history have we had so much information. And now with AI, it is next to impossible to determine if what we see or read is true and real or something that has been manufactured. Not knowing creates uncertainty & anxiety. Uncertain & anxious is exactly how I …

When It Happens…
Where do you go…what do you do when the crisis happens? All public buildings have a fire alarm system. They do two things: alert everyone in the building of the emergency and contact the local fire station of the fire emergency. The fire alarm activates the planned response. In school we had fire drills to …
“What’s Going To Happen?”
It’s incredible. We have a new and even worse crisis every week. Just when the current crisis begins to lose its fever pitch…BAM! Up pops even bigger crisis. No matter which 24-hour news network you watch remember this, they all have 1 thing in common, “making money” …and nothing sells like fear. Yep! Nothing glues …
“Am I Alone?”
Being alone…truly alone, can be frightening. If you have not been there, you will. Alone can be in a foreign place, an experience you have never had, or even in a crowd. Alone is not an external experience, it’s internal. Alone is the fertile ground that the seeds of fear can grow into uncontrolled anxiety. …
Civil Defense
In Hamburg, Arkansas there was a “Fallout Shelter” sign on the Post Office building. It was a small Post Office that would only hold 50 or so people. I don’t recall any other buildings with this sign. I can only imagine the chaos that would have happened had it become necessary to be used. Growing …
