Hi Reader, When I was in Ohio last year visiting my parents, a friend from our church, Gene, invited me to a gathering he and his wife were hosting. It was a lovely evening of food and fellowship. We'd all had a wonderful dinner and were sitting on the back terrace having cake and ice cream, near a tall spruce tree with a large owl "hoo-hoo-ing" at the top. Sitting in a circle, Gene asked us all a question to ponder: "What are you not doing now that you should start doing?" We all went around and shared our responses. It's a good question, and I encourage you to reflect on it: What are you not doing now that you should start doing? Take a minute and think about it... Finally...

(It's common to see cats inside hotels in Turkey, but not dogs.) I spoke to the dog and sent a picture to my wife, saying I wanted to learn something from this dog about rest. It was probably just bored, but it seemed to enjoy resting. It spent time having rest. It rested regularly. I applied what the dog was somehow...
Hi Reader, My wife and I recently returned from a trip to Egypt. One afternoon, we walked through neighborhoods to find local shops and markets - something we enjoy exploring. On the way, I had to go to the bathroom so badly that I held my stomach, hunched over slightly, and walked like an elderly person. Finally, we stopped at a restaurant to use their bathroom, and ordered something light. Thankfully, they had a "western toilet" rather than a squat toilet that looks something like this:...
Hi Reader, This past Monday, my wife and I walked to my favorite place to eat fruit. I was glad they still had their Christmas decorations up. (Actually, here in Turkey, they're New Year's decorations.) It's a fun waffle restaurant, with huge plastic strawberries hanging from the ceiling, and pictures on the walls of the owner with famous people. There's even a chocolate waterfall. Here in Turkey, waffles aren't eaten with maple syrup for breakfast. They're covered in chocolate and fruit (and...
