My Husband Doesn't Have My Heart (My Phone Does.)
I was relieved to hear the U.S. Surgeon General call for an immediate warning label on social media platforms in a New York Times op-ed, similar to warnings on cigarette packs mandated by Congress in the 1960s. I've been praying for this—or something like it— since 2019. The nation's second largest school district has responded
The Day My Husband Broke My Heart
You never forget the day that blows out the flame of happy in your heart. That afternoon I was at home, waiting for my husband, Bob, to come pick me up in his big red truck so we could “eat our way” through the Centre County Grange Fair. It’s a family tradition that sticks better than

What You Must Know If Someone You Love Loud-Talks During Zoom Calls
Does anyone in your house LOUD-TALK during a Zoom call? Before the swell of Zoom use in 2020, women had no forewarning of the reality that many men have an inability to talk at a normal tone when on a Zoom call, including my husband Bob! Confession: this made us talk loud to each other
Why Does God Seem Silent Sometimes?
People say that God is never late. I say that He sure seems slow sometimes. Why doesn’t He answer your prayers to bring you someone to share your life with or someplace to call home? The medical breakthrough that could bring you a new lease on life or the help you need when you’ve been
