- Trace school shooting scourge back to behavior, lack of respect
-
Why are we plagued with all the school shootings? And other shootings? It's not about guns or mental problems. It is about behavior and lack of respect for others, among various other reasons. We, as a nation, have lost respect for the sanctity of life. We are so concerned with ourselves we have no feelings for the other guy or gal.

Poltergeist is German for a noisy ghost, spirit or a supernatural entity that is responsible for physical disturbances such as levitation of items or destruction of objects. While skeptical investigators believe that most of these paranormal incidents are hoaxes, others including observers and paranormal experts will often attribute these unnatural activities to mischievous spirits.

- A new year is a time to trust God even more
-
I love the idea of the new year. It is symbolic of the turning of a page, taking a heavy weight off one's shoulder, shedding some old skin or just looking forward. I'm not much on making New Year's resolutions; it seems like nobody keeps them for more then three weeks anyway, so why bother in the first place? It's always hard to change a bad habit or just start a good habit. I think the main reason it is so difficult to stick to our New Year's resolutions is that all we worry about is how hard it is going to be, rather that looking at what the outcome will be.

- Innocent or guilty?
-
Have we stopped teaching our children basic manners and how to behave as "ladies" and "gentlemen?" Where women (and girls) were treated kindly, and with respect by the male gender. Where there was not the constant competition between the genders on who was "better" or "stronger" than the other. Common courtesy was taught as a virtue, as was mutual respect. Over the years this competition overcame common sense and the result has become the total mess we find ourselves now experiencing.

- Being true to ourselves requires insight, hard work
-
In another life in Findlay, Ohio, I was married and a young mother of three children when my earlier bouts with depression, anxiety and panic attacks returned with a force that I could no longer deny or ignore. I was consumed with scary thoughts predicting all sorts of imaginative and negative outcomes. I remember my father warning me, with well-meaning intentions, that if I did not "snap out of it," I could lose my family. The year was 1968 when I picked up the phone and called my local mental health clinic for help.

With all the bad news we've seen, is there any hope for a better future? Hillary lost. Donald is still arrogant, (but he is our president). Numerous others are accused of sexual improprieties. Congress is at a standstill and can't get anything done. The world situation is under a dark cloud. Is there any hope for peace on Earth?

"I sent my brother away. I gave him to the dark people passing. They taught him to wear his hair long, to glide about naked, drinking water from his hands, tether horses and follow the faint trail through bent grasses. I took my brother to the other side of the river, then swam back, and left my brother alone on the shore. On 66th Street, I noticed he was gone. I sat down and wept." These soulful words were written by poet and consciousness-raising activist Robert Bly from his essay "A Dream of my Brother."

- Think outside of someone else's box -- know what works for you
-
We all know these people who feel like their way is the best way of doing something. Just because they did something one way and it worked out great for them, now as far as they are concerned, it can only be done the way they did it. It can be anything from, raising kids, praying to God, what kind of car to buy or who is the best doctor to see. People have ways they like to do things, and that is fine, but the problem comes when they think that their way is the only way and all others lead to disaster.
