  • Safety First: Safety For Seniors While at Home

    Jun 14, 2012

    · Never keep large quantities of cash in your home — it can make you a target for thieves.

Even if they are asking to use your telephone for a medical or personal emergency, offer to phone for them. Even if they claim to know you, or a member of your family...

Legos found clogging up the washing machine. 2.) Popsicle wrappers stuffed down the couch cushions. 3.) A pencil, hot wheel car and small train inside the subwoofer to our surround sound s...

  • NATIVE AMERCAN PROPHETS AND MESSIAHS

    Tom Cook|Jun 14, 2012

    In studying General Anthony Wayne I was led to study his most famous Indian adversary, the Shawnee hero Tecumseh, and in studying Tecumseh I was led to study his brother Tenskwatawa, also known as the Shawnee Prophet. It was Tenskwatawa who put a curse on William Henry Harrison that was said to condemn every President elected in a year divisible by twenty to a premature death. This curse held for 140 years until it was broken by Ronald Reagan, who had to survive an assassination attempt to do so. Perhaps Mrs. Reagan’s astrologer had more p...

Small ripples of hope and healing spread ever out-wards. Like the concentric circles created when a stone is tossed into a pond, the impact of the Wall grows and grows. In 1982 John Devitt, a former helicopter door gunner and Army veteran, visited Washington, DC for the dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and to participate in the National Salute to Vietnam Veterans.
