Waging the Wrong War

When we fear something and want it to go away, we don’t just push for it, we wage war on it. We declared war on cancer in 1971. That same year we declared war on drugs. A war on poverty started in the 60’s. And a war on crime was declared way back in the…

COVID-19 Update

Because I get so many questions about the virus, let me share/reiterate a few things… I am not worried about the virus itself AT ALL. I know that my family and I will get it (and possibly/likely already have) and will do just fine with it. MOST people getting this virus will experience mild symptoms…

Where Ever You Go, There You Are
