I read once, “Worry is like a rocking chair.  It gives you something to do, but it doesn’t get you anywhere.”  l know that, just like I know eating three slices of birthday cake at one sitting will more than likely add a few pounds to my weight, but sometimes, I just can’t help myself.  I’m one of those people who thinks ahead and considers consequences, worry naturally accompanies me.  My husband, Garey, is not a worrier by nature.  It has to be a pretty big event to cause him to lie awake at night.  He believes everything will work itself

            It is undoubtedly a difficult concept to fathom, but consider the question: “What if Christ hadn’t come to earth?” What would that mean?

Self-care is one of the most important things you can do for yourself.  “Self” is in the name so you know it’s important for your well-being.  When something isn’t good for you personally or when you get tired of something you’re doing, get rid of it.

Everyone deserves to spoil themselves once in a while. And depending on what we think of as a treat, there are many ways to spoil ourselves. Some people plan a special day, practice self-care, or treat themselves in some way. Personally, I enjoy scented candles, having abundant reading material, and keeping a variety of hot teas on hand. 

Wondering how others pamper themselves, I asked friends and family, “How do you spoil yourself?” Their responses are listed below:

-By getting a manicure and pedicure every few weeks.

-Go to the mountains and shop, eat and chill.

Some thoughts on Christmas – the recent past celebration theory:
            A young lad was asked where Jesus lived.

The Christmas holidays are the only thing that will make me get rid of stuff I don’t really use or need.  Every year as the time fast approaches, I gather, sort, load into my car no-longer-useful items and head to the thrift store.  I engage in this ritual in order to make room for Christmas guests, as well as to make room for more stuff I will receive this Christmas that will no longer be useful next Christmas.  It is the circle of my life.

The first week of the 2020 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly has come to a close. We had a productive week in Frankfort and left with confidence in what the session has in store.

      It is my privilege to be able to answer Bible questions folks ask. The question about the gift of the Holy Spirit is one that has been asked of me several times because the Holy Spirit and His work fascinates man. I hope this article will help others who have wondered about the Holy Spirit (I Pet. 3:15).
