I was recently in the waiting room of a medical facility. As we masked strangers waited and waited and waited to be seen, a video monitor rotated different messages. One of those was, “(Name of facility) has a zero tolerance policy towards abusive or disruptive behavior.” That sounds fine, but at one point, a disgruntled...
Where do I begin? I want to build a real estate business. Do you have any suggestions? ~ Will H. Dear Will, Thank you for writing to us. Your question is very interesting; or to be more precise, how you chose to phrase your question revealed quite a lot. You didn’t ask, “How do I...
Don’t you just love it when you expect to hear a standard piece of advice and instead you hear something that spurs you to look at an issue in an entirely different way? In my case, a magazine I was reading presented a relatively common parenting issue. A mother wrote in revealing that her eight-year-old...
A study (conducted before inflation drove prices skyward) claimed that American women spend an average of $65 per month on anti-aging creams and treatments. American men spend just under $50 a month taking care of their own faces. These numbers seem wildly improbable but, either way, the Bible provides advice on how to look younger...
My husband and I both lived in Israel prior to getting married. We met there, got married, then moved back to the US. We’ve thought about returning to Israel at some point (we both have family there). We see many benefits to living in the Jewish homeland, however, we recognize that Israel is still mostly...
It’s been over a year and I have yet to write about the events of January 6th, 2021. Few Americans are paying attention to the hearings regarding those days.

I have three children and our local synagogue is sadly like many in that there is a culture of loading up children on sugar. Kiddush (an after prayer socializing time) Is full of sugary treats...
For many of us, June is an event-filled month. Graduations, weddings, Father’s Day, and stepping-into-summer celebrations abound. This month has already been a packed one for my husband and me. Joined by many of our children, we attended the wedding of our niece as we celebrated the adding of a new home to our family...
Are you a specialist in your field of work? What career field should I go into? Will history graduates find work in their field? Why is the word field by far the most common metaphor for work, career, or profession? Why not ask, “what river do you work in?” Or, “what road of work do...
After listening to your podcasts “Spiritual Schematic for Success” and “Why Aren’t You Where You Wanted to Be?“, as well as several others, I realize how little progress I have made in my life on any of the five “F”s. Until listening to “Bible, Bullets, Batteries and Boys“, I had not conceptualized family and friends...
