A smile never increases in price or decreases in value. Slanting the News The U. S. Senate recently passed a stopgap bill to extend President Obama’s cut in the Social Security withholding tax, leaving it at 4.2% instead of the 6.2% needed to fund Social Security.

A smile never increases in price or decreases in value. The other day I while was visiting with my 95 year-old mother, she made a statement I’ve come to believe was truly profound.

What does age mean to you? When I was growing up, my grandparents were ancient. They were only in their fifties in my early memories, but they were OLD. When my parents got to their fifties, they weren’t nearly as old as their parents were at the same age. Obviously some of the difference was [...]

I originally wrote this as a comment on one of the pieces in my upcoming book of devotional and inspirational stories. The more I thought about it, though, the more I wanted you to get to read it now, so I’m posting it for today’s blog. Okay, I admit it. I have a tendency to [...]
