On Having a Big Doctor
I had my annual physical this morning. We went over my regular health problems and, trust me, if it wasn’t for modern medicine I probably wouldn’t be alive. At least I wouldn’t live a productive life. Anyway, one of the … Continue reading

“What Religion Are You?”
I don’t like the question “What is your religion” I like straight questions that I can give straight, simple answers to. When someone asks me this, my straight, simple answer is “Christian.” That, however, is most often not the answer … Continue reading
