The most common female name in America is Mary. Thinking back over the years, there are dozens of friends, acquaintances, relatives and co-workers with that name. One thing I have noticed, however, is that most were not known simply as Mary. In most instances, they were called by their middle name as well.
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Romans 15:13 .

Coffee by my side, I sit on the dock, overlooking North Arm Bay of Lake Minnetonka. It is 6:02 a.m. Everyone who writes about these sorts of times describes it as quiet and peaceful. They deliberately ignore the Hitchcockian quantities of birds hellbent on their morning song. It’s loud out here. A family of geese paddle somewhere slowly, honking. A loon calls someone, maybe his mother. I face east which means the sunrise is directly in front of me, just above the horizon. Sunrises are a bit like the Minnesota Vikings, best enjoyed with a gaze that I’ll call indirect. I do not wish to be the guy wearing sunglasses at six a.m., but I suppose we all have a cross to bear.

I usually tune out criticisms of the modern mess of humanity that come with phrases such as “late-stage capitalism.” That’s a gussied-up way implying that everyone knows the game is over, the plutocrats are making a killing while they can, and when the rubble is cleared away, we’ll find ourselves in a gentle and just Age of Aquarius.
(LITTLE ROCK, ARK.) – The Buffalo National River celebrates its 50th anniversary as part of the National Park Service this year. This summer, the Arkansas State Capitol’s first and fourth-floor galleries will feature “The River Remains: 50 Years on the Buffalo National River,” a celebration of the Buffalo River and its distinction of being a “national river”—the first of its kind in the national park system. The exhibit will be opened to the public beginning June 13th.
Hello everyone. It sure is hot outside. Make sure everyone stays cool and drink plenty of liquids. Check on the elderly and pets too. I finally got my first ripe tomato on my birthday. I beat the rooster to it this time. I have been picking a lot of yellow squash. Now my cucumbers are coming off too.
