According to a recent Gallup poll, Americans today are more closely divided than they were earlier in the last century when asked whether some form of socialism would be a good or bad thing for the country. While 51 percent of U.S. adults say socialism would be a bad thing for the country, …
Years ago the Gaithers sang a song entitled “Redemption Draweth Nigh”…
I took a four-day trip back to my beloved Smoky Mountains this past weekend.
I thank Rose Marie for what she calls A Few Musings that she received from her cousin and passed along to us:

Someone I know was given the Wonder Bible. This battery-operated device reads God’s word to you; or at least it’s supposed to. This one however had a problem; something in the battery charging portion didn’t work so the device did not read to you. That Bible don’t work no more.
Summertime here in Berkshire brings out the best of the best. Some of the children in our community decided to have a lemonade stand on July 8. Olivia Latham, who has always wanted a lemonade stand, asked a friend to build her a lemonade stand as a birthday present.
As I write my column, we are having another afternoon shower. I’m thinking about all of those people in the track of tropical storm, Barry, who has his heart set on flooding out some homes and lands in Louisiana. I will keep them in my prayers and be glad that we are just getting an afternoo…
One of the things I hate to do is to miss a column. After 10 years, I have only missed about five times. Last week was one of those times.
Someone I know was given the “Wonder Bible” (As Seen On TV). This battery-operated device reads God’s Word to you; or at least it’s supposed to. This one however had a problem; something in the battery-charging portion didn’t work, so try as you might, the device did not read to you. That Bi…
Be safe during thunderstorms by not using running water or anything connected to electrical outlets.
Summer is in full swing, and my garden is producing all kinds of vegetables and fruit. When we got home from California, we had piles of radishes, cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, cantaloupes, musk melons, green beans and yellow squash. I made some pickles and gave lots away to the neighbors.…
Well, June is gone and here comes July.
Something akin to road rage was creeping up on me as the driver in front of me slowed down and sped up, depending on how close I got to his vehicle.
I made a mistake.
July 4 marks the 243rd anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, one of the greatest documents ever written by man. Fifty-six patriots signed that document, pledging their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor.
If they can unplanetize Pluto, they can certainly create new definitions for words.
During the 13 years since I began writing a column, several times I have mentioned the fact that expressing myself in this way is very good therapy.
Hope everyone enjoyed a happy Independence Day.
It has been a busy two weeks for me, as Norm and I have been in Long Beach, California, visiting our daughter and son and their families.
Last weekend the Myrtle Beach Bowl invited The Farm residents for two hours of free bowling and free shoes. Christina Stanley put together a group, and 11 lanes were designated for The Farm.

I hope everyone is starting to enjoy the summer.

These phrases little kids wrote in papers that nuns graded may have made the rounds already. But,
It was a busy week in our household with meetings and finishing my elbow physical therapy.
It wasn’t a good day or evening for the family swim night. Thanks to the food trucks Brazuka Bowls and Mr. Softee, the night was not a complete washout. They stayed on site from 6 – 8 p.m. serving the brave hearts who showed up.
The board of directors rescheduled monthly meeting was Thursday, June 13.
Remembering when ‘a beach day’ meant grabbing a paperback book, a bottle of cream soda and a towel, I was amazed at the necessities ready to be loaded into the car for a couple hours of sunny surf.
What do/did you call him? Father (very formal)? Dad? Daddy? Old Man (Never; that’s disrespect)? I called mine “Pop” and it was a very respectful “Pop”. I can say that both my father and my father-in-law — though not perfect — were two of the best male role models” I have ever had, and I woul…
