The ice fishing season gets closer every day. Many of us are going through our ice fishing equipment to see what we need or want to go fishing through the ice when the ice returns. I was looking at my ice rods and realized there were a couple of actions that needed to be added to my arsenal. ...
It was between doctor appointments (the only kind of appointments I have anymore.) I had ducked into a coffee shop for a few minutes of mental and physical relaxation. A small, elderly woman ̶ stooped, gaunt and shabbily dressed ̶ approached my table and asked if I would buy her a cup of coffee. An easy mark when it comes to food, I bought her a cup of coffee and a bagel. Without invitation, she pulled out a chair and joined me. I sat silently while she attacked the bagel.

Sixty years ago I would have given up ice cream if I could have stayed home from church. My parents took their six ornery kids to church most any time the lights were on and their six ornery kids were not always excited about that. Six decades later my thoughts about church have been rehabilitated. A recent poll by the Pew Research Center indicates that only 36 percent of Americans attend church weekly.
