One of the most impressive sights to me was many years ago on a visit into Washington, D.C.

May is clean-up month. This week, we will pay just a little more attention to picking up the litter that lines our streets and roadways.

Another Day in Paradise: The secret's out
This has been a great week to walk the dogs early in the morning. The tide has been out, giving us some beautiful beach time on Mission Beach. Our little dog, Smidgeon, checks out every strip of kelp because she just knows there are some treasures there to eat. The people may tidepool for treasu...

Another Day in Paradise: Salvation demands a verdict
We all know how Facebook works. Somebody posts something we like and everybody else shares it. Pastor Elmore of Frontier Baptist Church shared the photo, and I followed suit. It was a picture of an empty tomb and the caption read, “Christmas was the promise. Easter is the proof.” Some who liked ...

Another Day in Paradise: Keeping a schedule
I loved the commercial thirty years ago for Dunkin Donuts. “Time to make the donuts” was the slogan repeated throughout. Their basic thought was, you get them fresh no matter when you come in. I’m not entirely sure whether I liked the commercial because of their idea, or whether it was because I...
