It is so frustrating. It started with some big corporations, but it has spread until practically no matter who you call, a machine answers. It was bad enough when my insurance company started doing this, but now even my family physician, who I thought was a good friend of mine, has a computer answer his phone, with the assurance that “Your call is important to us.” The Psychiatrist’s Answering Machine This reminds me of a machine at the psychiatrist’s office. It could have answers like this: "Hello and welcome to the mental health clinic....
The book of Proverbs in the Bible has been referred to as the “Book of Wisdom,” as it relays knowledge from the perspective of a father to his son. It portrays wisdom and folly as two competing women, vying for the attention of a young man, a young man who has not lived long enough to gain the wisdom of the wise. The woman called “Wisdom” gives knowledge and understanding that will give the young man many blessings such as wealth, health and life. The woman called “Folly” gives nothing but heartache and pain that will drag the young man down to...

There is going to be a TV show about the rise and fall of the psychic “Miss Cleo,” then a documentary supposedly telling what really happened, bound to be funny stuff. My Miss Cleo said not to waste any money on the TV girl, because she would be happy to tell me about my future for nothing. Then she told me she saw me giving her whatever money she asked for. They may have been more alike than I knew. Please consider being a school supplies sponsor. There is a real need for the help; it is sca...
Juliet Hulme was born in 1938 in London, England. Her parents were upper-middle class. Her father, Henry, was a prominent scientist who eventually held several important governmental positions in the British defense program during World War II. Juliet contracted tuberculosis as a child, and her parents decided to send her to live with relatives in the Caribbean and South Africa – believing that escaping England’s cold weather for warmer climes would help their daughter’s health. In 1948 Henry...
We got home from the hospital a few hours ago and this is what I know. Today I did something that really isn’t column worthy, yet at the same time it is and I will tell you why. I passed out at church today, smack dab in the middle of worship service, and why was it column worthy you ask? It’s because my church family was immediately there for me. I tell people all the time you don’t have to go to church to have a relationship with Jesus, but you miss out on so much when you don’t have a church family. Today was the reasoning behind that st...
Before getting to the substance of today’s article, I want to say it is less of a statement and more of a pondering or a questioning that, honestly, I don’t have a definite answer to, rather only questions. The other evening, I had to go into my teenage daughter’s room to discuss her college application. As I was there, I looked around her room, noticing her décor. Her décor is what you would normally expect from a teenage girl: LED lights around the ceiling, lots of posters of pop stars, numero...
Of course, you’ve been there many times before. It’s a dead-dark night when you have no electricity for some reason, so you light a candle. And immediately that thing shines like a diamond that has a heavy spotlight six inches from it. No mistaking where it is. If you are carrying it, everyone around knows it’s you, and they know when you’re coming their way. Because burning candles don’t hide well in the dark. Just like that candle, the decision to ‘do what’s right, no matter the consequences...
A quote from AARP Magazine: “When you age, every morning when you get up, something will hurt. It may be the same thing every day or it may be something different.” I have discovered this to be true, and it is a sign that your body is responding to inflammation. Inflammation is a complex biological response that plays a crucial role in the body’s defense and healing mechanisms. While stiff joints are a part of the normal aging process, there exists a consensus among scientists that infla...
Troy Brooks filed an appeal because he felt his property taxes were too high on a rental property he owns at 115 E. Center in Alva. He said he also just wanted "to go through the process."

Brooks told Woods County Equalization Board members Bob Seivert, Chris Olson and Joe Shirley that the value of his property went up considerably this year. He originally...
