Sleep Interrupted: Sleep Apnea The Threat in Your Bedroom

Published by admin on Thu, 01/18/2024 - 8:49am

My family has a fondness for crime dramas and thrillers. It isn’t uncommon to watch a scene in which a peacefully sleeping individual wakes when a shadowy figure approaches their bedside with a pillow.

Christians believe in God because of God

I am already comfortable writing “2024” down as part of the date when I have to date something; usually it will take longer before I no longer have to think about what year it is, or have to make a correction because I forgot that it is a new year. This time around, it has been the other way around: I found myself tempted to write “2024” already in December. I have no idea why that is. But then, there are so many things I do that I am not sure why I do.

Done dreaming and ready to start living

Now that we have flipped the calendar, closing 2023, my mind reminisces of the year left behind. I am not sure exactly how or why but it seems when you get older the days tend to fly by. The days turn to weeks, then weeks to months and before you know it here you are, face to face with 2024.

Why Do I Can and Preserve

Published by admin on Thu, 01/11/2024 - 12:00pm

A friend stopped by a couple weeks ago and we went to my back porch, which is where all of my canning is stored. She remarked on all of the canning I had back there and was amazed that there was so much, so the talk turned to why I do it. Why do I can so much stuff? There are a few reasons, most of which are common sense, but there is at least one that may surprise people.
First of all, I can because I enjoy it.

As the Wyoming Legislature readies for 20 days of discussion and debate ahead of the 2024 Legislative Budget Session, we prepare for this work as servants to the people of our communities.

New Year’s Resolutions

Published by admin on Thu, 01/04/2024 - 2:21pm

Oh, don’t worry. I’m not going to bore you or make you feel guilty with a whole list of how I am going to attempt to change my life this year. At my age, I guess I am pretty much stuck in what I have made of myself. So instead of a total reforming of my life, this year I am going to attempt a lighter approach: to laugh more, to tell more funny stories about myself and my family, and laugh at myself more often. To share more memories and take more opportunities to be kind. I want to listen more and talk less, to laugh more and whine less.

"Bless the Lord, o my soul, o my soul
"Worship His holy name
"Sing like never before, o my soul
"I'll worship Your holy name
"The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning
"It's time to sing Your song again
"Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
"Let me be singing when the evening comes"
— From Matt Redmond’s "10,000 Reasons"
