Yesterday I saw a man spill all his Scrabble letters on the road. So I asked him, "What's the word on the street?" A ham sandwich walked into a bar and ordered a beer, but the bartender said, "Sorry, we don't serve food here." The nurse needed to make sure she had a red pen with her when she went to work because the doctor told her she was going to have to draw blood. Ever wonder how Seagulls got their name? Because if they flew over the bay, they would be called bagels. Yesterday I accidentally swallowed some food coloring. The doctor said...

Whenever someone comes to me for counsel, we meet and discuss the situation and talk about whatever their struggle is. As you know I am a firm believer in the Bible - and I follow its teachings to their logical end all the way down to how it applies to the very soul of man - and apply them to every aspect of our lives. That is not always the easiest thing to do, especially when we have our own ideas on how to handle life thinking we know more than God knows. Once upon a time, I was mentoring a...
My wife is really getting better at hiding the food. As many of you know, several years ago my “loving” daughter snagged all but five of the peanut butter balls for herself, I was more than a little honked off. But ever since, my wife did as she promised, and made a batch of the tasty treats from God for me to have over the holidays. She just had one catch – I was being rationed! Each morning, there would be a small bowl left out on the counter with no more than four peanut butter balls in it. A...

Schools in our region have been hit with a nearly impossible task – to educate kids now in both a virtual and one-to-one environment at the same time, all while following strict guidelines concerning cleanliness and social distancing in order to keep those students (and themselves) safe. At the same time, the Districts themselves have been placed into a tough position as State funding has taken a major hit, and while property taxes are the primary source of local funding for schools, all but a...
