I sometimes wonder if we’ve heard about some subjects so much that they’ve become “old hat” to us. Could such be the case with the resurrection of Christ? Have we heard about it so much that we do not realize its real meaning today?

May 27 was already legendary in account of it being my birthday(ha), but as of that date in the year of weird known as 2020, HBO Max was launched.  In this time in our lives, the more to read, watch and do, the better.  It would take me endless pages to list everything on thei

I have been listening to the news, and three topics caused me to do some more reading. I read about the presidential inauguration, stimulus money, and Kentucky’s Covid-19 vaccination schedule. Although these topics are not related, they each affect us.
