Listen Don’t Think

I like Judge Judy…for the most part. Her candor is sometimes too harsh for my taste, but I like the fact she stands up for truth and justice. She calls herself a truth detector and often will remark “God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason.” The truth of that statement is… [Read More]

The Legacy of Words-A Christmas Card

Words are important. They can reassure us when we begin to question our history.
