Cheryl Hughes: Twin

Our son-in-law, Thomas, is at his core a rebel.  I have always admired rebels.  I think that’s because I’ve never had the courage to be one.  A few columns ago, I told you about his propensity toward breaking rules and taking chances.  (Remember the cows in Ireland?)  Evidently, he has been that way since he was a young boy.

Jarrod Jacobs: "The Church for Which Christ Died

There is much confusion about the Lord’s church. Some say, “Join the church of your choice.” Others say that the church is of no consequence at all. What does the Bible say (Rom. 4:3)?

Andy Sullivan: Against the Grain

www.hooksandharmony.com is where the list of Billboard #’s can be found.  This week we reach the home stretch, beginning with Journey’s classic “Open Arms”.  One of the most popular power ballads ever, 1982’s “Open Arms” was Journey’s highest-ranking single.  VH1 named it the greatest power ballad of all time and the song was certified Gold by the recording industry.  Unfortunately for Journey, it got caught behind the #3 and #5 songs of 1982: J Geils Band’s “Centerfold” denied it for 3 weeks and Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock ‘n Roll” also held the to

How we can address veterans suicide this Suicide Awareness Month

Thousands of Kentuckians have served in our Armed Forces, risking everything to protect our great nation and defend freedom around the world. However, those who come home often carry the scars of their service. Alarmingly high rates of suicide among veterans have garnered significant attention and concern. Factors contributing to this crisis include the invisible wounds of war, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injuries, and the challenges of transitioning to civilian life.

Cheryl Hughes: Full Circle

I stayed with my stepmom at my sister’s house last week, so she and her husband could take a vacation.  My stepmom has dementia and has caregivers during the day, but she needs someone to stay with her at night.

For the first few days, Mom thought I was her granddaughter.  The caregivers kept correcting her, but she argued with them, and I told them it wasn’t a big deal and to just let it slide.  You know how hard it is for dementia patients to navigate change.

Jarrod Jacobs: How Forgetful We Are!

Humans are pretty forgetful! The events, places, and sayings we once thought would be forever etched in our memories have faded with time. I am sure we’re all familiar with the old joke that goes: “I was always told that when you get old, the first thing to go is your memory. And, the second thing to go is … is … is …”.

Andy Sullivan: Against the Grain

Last week was part one of my “songs that peaked at #2” series.  This week, I’ll begin with “Like A Rolling Stone” by Bob Dylan.  This song stayed at #2 for two weeks.  The song that kept it out of the top spot?

Patty Craig: A Slice of Time

After the age of 30, scientists say that we lose approximately 3 to 8% muscle mass per decade. When making exercise recommendations, health professionals usually consider a person’s age. Yet, we shouldn’t make excuses for not exercising, and it’s never too late to start.

Senator Steve Meredith: Celebrate Constitution Week

It is officially Constitution Week. In 1955, the Daughters of the American Revolution petitioned Congress to set aside a week in September annually in dedication and observance of the United States Constitution. A joint resolution of Congress on August 2, 1956, preceded President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s first Constitution Week proclamation (Proclamation 1351), officially designated September 17-23 each year as Constitution Week.

Cheryl Hughes: Right At Home

Our first few nights in Ireland, we stayed at an Air B&B that joined a large dairy farm.  The pasture was behind the house, and the milk house was across the road facing the house.  It was dusk when we arrived, and the day’s milking activities had already happened.  At 5 AM the next morning, I awoke to what sounded like fifty cows in the bed next to mine.  I wonder if it’s going to be like this every morning, I thought.
