“God never ends anything on a negative; God always ends on a positive.” ~Edwin Louis Cole
The title of this post is kind of funny (no, not “ha ha” funny), a quote coming from the founder of the Christian Men’s Network who died with cancer and a broken back. I would say that … well … yeah, God does end some things on a negative. Speaking of negatives … I am going to

Too much time on her hands …
Obviously, one of my (truth be told, “favorite”) readers has way too much time on her hands. She actually reads my blog … This is from the mailbag today: Happy New Year! or whatever ….. These issues were left unresolved in 2013. I do expect an update on these in the very near future! Coke

“I got kicked out of ballet class because I pulled a groin muscle. It wasn’t mine.” ~Rita Rudner
Ever feel like you were being pulled in twenty directions? That’s what it is like around here. Tomorrow I am driving, sans Pearlsky, to see my mom (about 5 hours) and to do assorted household tasks for her. Until dad’s passing 8 months ago, she has never lived on her own. So a day of
