ARIES – Mar 21–Apr 20 Aries, despite your best efforts, you cannot seem to get much work done this week. Your head is in the clouds with matters of the heart. Soon enough your focus will return. TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21 This week you may tire from charging into battle and prefer others to
When we married, I told my husband I would never tell him what to wear unless he asked. And I’ve kept that promise for twenty years, and for twenty years, I’ve turned a blind eye to the many fashion crimes he’s committed. I can no longer ignore such atrocities, so for this Father’s Day, whether
The goal of my writing today is to inspire you to access the powerful transforming grace God has made available to us through the Holy Spirit. In this series of articles, we are recognizing one fundamental truth regarding transformational grace: God provides the grace, but we must access it. Doing so requires discipline. We access
It was a good year to be a Bulldog, especially for the Bellomo brothers. Between the two Jersey Shore Area High School seniors/fraternal twins, four school records were broken, a state championship won, and many personal records were set. Nick Bellomo, along with teammates Peyton Whitman, Elijah Jordan, and Brodie Herr, set the school record
Over 80 musicians will gather in Williamsport on Saturday to pay tribute to a beloved friend and mentor. Free and open to the public, the Albert J. Nacinovich Memorial Concert is slated for 7:30 p.m. on June 10 at the Williamsport Area High School auditorium. Nacinovich, a long-time area educator and 37-year
It’s funny how you see or hear something, and it takes you back to something you hadn’t thought about in years. Today my son Tyler was getting ready to go fishing at the river. It’s hot, and the sun is bright. I packed him some snacks in my lunch box and made sure he had
Regarding Disney’s latest, the question might be: “Does the world really need another ‘Little Mermaid?’” But we already posed that query with recent live-action reboots of “Cinderella,” “Jungle Book” and “Beauty and the Beast.” The answer was: “Probably not; but no one’s complaining.” And they won’t complain about the latest “Mermaid,” either — though I
I don’t know about you, but one of the ways I get myself through the dreary bouts of winter weather is by dreaming up ideal summer activities, vacations, and trips. A big part of that daydreaming-as-self-care is planning (and in some cases fantasizing) all of the warm-weather outfits I’d wear. Now that we are in
You can’t imagine life without your devices. Your cell phone, your computer: how else would you stay in touch, take photos, end arguments, keep documents? You need those links to civilization, you panic when you don’t have them. So what would you do, absent all modern conveniences? In “The Foxfire Book of Appalachian Women,” edited
ARIES – Mar 21–Apr 20 Aries, things may not progress the way you want them to unless you become a little more persistent. Figure out how to walk the line to achieve your goals. TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21 Taurus, many things are going right with your life. But now it’s time to get a
While perusing my Brobdingnagian list of oddball vocabulary for this week’s selection, I noted that very early on, I’d included “sesquipedalian.” The wonderful American Heritage Dictionary defines this as “long and ponderous,” “polysyllabic” or “given to using long words.” Perfect, I thought; let’s focus this list on words of unusual length.
