Your eyebrows get bushier and tufts of hair grow out of your ears and nostrils." I guess he was right; the hair on top is receding … Continue reading Changes

It was meant as a shelter for our cats if they were outside in … Continue reading The intruder
Cat vantage
Cats are asleep about two-thirds of the time, but their noses and ears seem to be always on the alert.

“The world has been watching the 2020 race for United States President.” That is certainly true here in Canada, and many Canadians have become emotionally involved on one side or the other. Your thoughts point us toward what we need for healing. No politician has the prescription for healing, we must look to God and submit our wills to His, without presuming to already know what His will is.

Do old arthritis remedies ever die?
I have had some arthritic stiffness in my right shoulder for years. It has been bothering me a little more lately. I rummaged through our medicine cabinets, in both bathrooms, and came up with three tubes of rubbing compound for arthritic pain.
