Current Events

The Big Beautiful Bill:

The bill helps billionaires with business expenses to encourage job growth. It also helps the average house-hold with no tax on tips and up to $25,000 of tax-free overtime, and it adds to the current tax cuts for all. It also gives an extra tax-cut for seniors.

The bill is online. Read it: Click Here

More on the bill: It is not going to send people to an early grave. There is information out there saying the bill is cutting medical research, which it is not. Again, read it. And it is also not cutting medicaid from Americans who truly need it. It is cutting it for those who are not American. And it also calls for those on it who can work part-time, to do so, to lessen other handouts.

 We've Only Just Begun

We were in our early twenties in 1983, when we married on the first day of Spring, at 3:00, in a little upstate New York church. I remember it all well. I was a princess. He was my prince. We even sang together at our reception. Our honeymoon was perfect.

But when the honeymoon was over, the fighting began. We were like most every other couple we knew. We loved like crazy. We fought like crazy. And then we would make up. But things have changed. We are old people now, seniors, over-the-hill, next in line to go. Yes, seriously, I figure if I say it enough and, in enough ways, I will get used to it. Really. 

We enjoyed raising two kids. Then came the empty-nest and letting go, him first, then me. Once I too, fully let go, it was like a door opened, and it was a beautiful sunny day outside. And my husband was out there waiting for me. It was just the two of us again.

He still gets up, goes to work every day, and comes home to me and a clean home, etc. He likes to pitter, garden, and watch TV. I like my hobbies, music, and many cookbooks. Together, we like a nice dinner and a couple games of backgammon and catching up a bit. Our sweetest times can be watching an old sitcom on the couch with our dog, Coti there.

We were two individuals who came together to be one entity. We did not lose our identities, nor did either of us morph into the other. We stumbled till we learned to respect our other half. Our young love grew into a mature love over so many years. It was work. But we made it. We are enjoying today and dreaming of tomorrow. In so many ways, w
e've only just begun.

Our God Reigns!
Rejoice & Be Glad!


The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus,
after that ye haved suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you." --1 Peter 5:10


"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ." Colossians 3:23-24

"And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted,
that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him." Isaiah 30:18 


  "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
