THANK GOD FOR SUNDAY

 It’s strange how a story can actually become a little too familiar. We have the outline of the story committed to memory and sooner or later it’s reduced to nothing more than a series of people, places and things.  We lose touch with the heart of the story.  With the real...

FUN IN THE CALIFORNIA SUN

 Traveling for depositions is not one of my favorite things.  It’s usually a quick in and out trip with no time for fun.  Trips to the west coast are especially hard due to flight schedules and time zone changes.  But, when I recently learned I needed to attend an expert...

Exit “The Dragon” – A Journey Through Whole 30

 I came across a new study recently that suggest that sugar hidden in junk food is eight times more addictive than cocaine. A separate study ranked the top five most addictive foods as ice cream, chips, chocolate, cookies and pizza. Pizza was actually ranked at the top of the addiction...
