 I was watching the evening news recently when a story about a doctor at a rural hospital caught my attention.
Apparently this young woman had left her small-town to attend college and medical school. Upon graduation, she had been offered opportunities for a lucrative career in several large city hospitals, but turned them down to return home to be the only doctor at the town’s only medical facility. It seems that without her the hospital would have had to close, requiring the town’s residents to travel more than an hour for medical care.

 Sweaty bodies and the scent of rain filled the sawdust strewn animal barn at the Christian music festival. After being chased by the blowing downpour to the lightning free indoor arena, musicians meandered onto the small stage. |

 Though outwardly calm-looking, emotional turmoil rocks my life. Happy turmoil, but turmoil nonetheless. In a few hours I shall be officiating at my own daughter’s wedding. With my wife beside her, our daughter, in her beautiful white gown, will stand beneath the wedding canopy, the chupah, next to an excellent young man. |

 I heard someone on television say the other day that the average American woman is 5’4” tall, weighs 163 lbs., and wears a size 14.
If that’s true, then for the first time in my life I’m happy to be below average. |

 I loved going to the ocean when I was a child.
We did not have any money to speak of, but every year we would make the trek to Daytona Beach for a full week. It has been 28 years since we took such a trip, but I remember it like it was yesterday. |
