There is nothing worse, as a mother, than when your grown child presents you with a problem that your experience could easily resolve, only to refuse any semblance of advice or parental wisdom. The amount of time you get to prepare your children for life is far briefer than you ever expect.
Today I want to talk about the hurting in this world and the importance of how we look at it. Dr. Simmons Patrick shared an item with me a few years ago that someone had sent to him about an elderly relative of theirs who was nearing the end of his days on this earth.
I want to expand on a Column I wrote a few years ago about how two people can look at the same thing and draw different conclusions. Today I want to touch on that theme by mixing humor and reality. You have heard the expression, "Can't see the forest for the trees," and that does happen.
At least once a month I hook up all of the family phones to a laptop and extract the photos. I seem to be alone in this, as most people store their photos in some magical cloud that Steve Jobs tethered to the Apple corporate headquarters in Cupertino, CA.

I looked around to see if anyone else felt the small earthquake I'd just felt, but everyone was acting as if nothing happened. Fearing this was stage one of my exit from this mortal coil, I grabbed a nearby napkin and hastily scribbled together a last will and testament.
There is a crisis that threatens every restaurant drive-thru in the United States. Do you know the warning signs?
Lenoir County is home to many historical monuments: The CSS Neuse, the Richard Caswell Museum and Neuse News Editor Bryan Hanks’ 1937 Jeep.
Summer vacation is upon us and with it an opportunity for families to spend some quality time together. My two Tax Deductions are excited to begin what The Wife has assured them had better be a summer of blissful co-existence.
For many years Bryan Hanks was known to the people of Lenoir, Greene, and Jones counties as a newspaper journalist who lived, breathed, dreamed and marinated in sports. If two or more people gathered to engage in throwing, running, kicking or jumping, Hanks was there with a notepad, a pencil and a shirt loud enough to drown out a low-flying jet.
