The #1 Mistake We Make With Photos

What is the number one mistake we see people make with their photos? This might surprise you — NOT DIGITIZING THEM. Right now, your photographs are subject to flood, fire, and the general damage old age can cause. Think about it – how many fires and floods have occurred either impacting you or people you

Biblical HR

No—this is not an oxymoron!  And yes, the “HR” stands for Human Resources, as in the department in our organizations that handles the difficult personnel management issues. The book which inspired this blog is Biblical HR:  Applying Eternal Truths to Everyday Work by Brett Billups.  All I can say is you MUST buy this book

What’s So Sweet About Honey

Sweet!  A word used in the U.S. to show that you approve of something.  Like saying “cool”.   Both of which approval words my grandkids say are not used any more.  Sorry, I still like to use them. So this week as I learned about the medicinal qualities of honey, I gave it my full approval

Who’s Your Reprover?

What the heck is a reprover? And why am I implying everyone needs one? Good questions – same ones I had as I read Brian Noble’s devotional from “Daily Wisdom for Peacemaking”.  His scripture from Proverbs seemed rather obscure to me: “Like a gold ring or an ornament of gold is a wise reprover to

Antibiotics:  Nature’s Way

When I think of antibiotics, I think of the ones you get with a prescription.  They are lab-synthesized, chemically-based and specifically target bacteria.  And in my experience, can have some really unwanted side effects.   I can’t tell you how many years it has been since I have had an antibiotic.  And if a doctor wants

STOP Adding Names to Your Family Tree

What?  STOP adding names to my family tree?   I thought that was the point of genealogy work, isn’t it?   Aren’t we all trying to find out if we have descended from a European King or have some link to royalty somewhere?  Why should I STOP? When I was in my 20’s, pre-kids, living in

How Now Shall We Live?

OK, New Year’s resolutions, and the month of January have passed.  More frequently this year I heard people saying they don’t even set those types of resolutions anymore — and certainly heard lots of speculation about the average amount of time a New Year’s resolution is actually kept. Sure enough, Mick at his blog at

Some is Better than None

In previous blogs I shared about the Callanetics routine that I do at least 5 days a week – shooting for 6.   And during a nagging joint pain period of time, (also a time when I had slacked on the Callanetics), I added the special exercises from a Thai massage person who was helping identify

Captured – And Buried

In an article by Andy Zahn addressing how to clean up and organize your photos, he describes perfectly our dilemma: Most people enjoy capturing photos, but few take any pleasure in the labor-intensive task of getting them into any kind of order on computers or other devices. However, just as spring cleaning your house or

Running Wild

Yep, this is the week to focus on SOUL work – and yep, “running wild” is addressed in the Bible.  Seriously. Why talk about this now?  You will never guess how this pairs up with all the “goal-setting” and resolutions and 2024 planning that is going on right now.  It certainly took me by surprise
