The most important people at the Big Sandy Nursing home are those that live there. I went to visit with them one afternoon after lunch. I found them all in their own rooms sitting comfortable in their easy chairs watching TV. Muriel Silvan asked me to turn the TV down so she could visit and hear me better. She told me. "It's the best place for me to be. The reason I am here is because I can't see good enough to take my pills and I have trouble walking." She said she feels safe and knows she is...

According to the grade school students Earth Day is the "best day" of the year. They get to go outside and walk around town for an afternoon and clean up Big Sandy. It was such a wonderful afternoon. According to one kid, it was more fun last year, because they got to go all over town and this year they had to stay on one street. I drove around town to find different groups of classes picking up all over the town. They allowed me to take their picture, actually they hammed it up! Earth Day was...

The nice weather has us all wanting to spend as much time outside as possible but we may forget what havoc it can cause. Whether you are working or recreating, long days in the sun can be a serious health hazard in the form of various skin cancers and other health concerns. Cumulative sun exposure is a major factor in the development of skin cancer.

Q: Why doesn’t God do something about the evil in the world? Sometimes I wonder if God even cares about the bad things that happen to people today. I don’t understand why He doesn’t just destroy everything that’s evil. A: I suspect almost everyone reading this has asked themselves the same question, because evil is real, and at times our world seems completely in its grip. And to be honest, we don’t always know why God allows evil things to happen. The Bible talks about “the mystery of iniquity”—and that’s what evil often is: a mystery (2 Thes...
I have started this article a few times in my head and then thought, what do you have to write about, you met him once?! But the idea persisted that I did have something to say. I did not get to know him the one time I met him as I was there for an interview, so conversation was one sided. I got to know Robbie through his articles. I looked forward each week to more of his tales of his and his family’s past. They were so colorful and often funny. He educated me about a time of which I had no knowledge. His writings were not just of a time p...
