    The Bookworm Sez “Pet Nation: The Love Affair That Changed America” by Mark L. Cushing0

    Great-grandpa would think you were crazy. In his day, dogs slept outside, maybe in the barn, or in a doghouse, if they had one. Cats caught their own dinner in the garage or shed. Neither animal came into the house for more than a minute, if that, and sleeping in bed with you? Never! So

  • Understanding Energy Requirements0

    With all of us spending more time in isolation and possibly consuming a higher than normal volume of food, I thought I would discuss energy requirements for maintaining a healthy weight.

  • Freedom Under Sovereignty0

    By intention and design, we were created to live in freedom under the supreme authority of Almighty God. As such, freedom is only possible as we acknowledge God’s existence and fully yield to His authority. Rejection of God’s existence or of His sovereignty results in bondage.

  • Connect with Nature to Feed Your Soul0

    Over the years, I have traveled a good portion of the United States as well as a handful of other countries. Although it took me quite a while to appreciate, I now realize that North Central Pennsylvania is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever seen. Furthermore, that this beauty has the

  • Aggregate of Marginal Change for Fitness0

    When I am working with clients, I often say that small, permanent changes employed over a long period of time add up to big results.
