“Merry Christmas”
What a day !!! So many memories of Christmas. As a young boy, I loved our Christmas tree with the tinsel and the lights that bubbled as they heated up. I loved the smell of the tree.

“Moses, The Meekest Of Men”

Originally Posted Aug. 3, 2021 “No pain, no gain”. We’ve all heard that phrase over the years…from parents, siblings, teachers, coaches, sergeants, bosses, etc. That message is usually delivered to us when we’re in pain…. “tough it out, Mr. Big Baby”. I think the message is pretty clear… we need to push through discomfort and even pain … Continue reading “No Pain, No Gain”
