As I was scanning the news this past week, and seeing the *continued* doom and gloom in our 24-7 world, the glut of "experts" who clamor for your inbox and your attention, and the unfortunate reality of our scattered, modern age ... well, I just thought you should...

There is more than one election in our future. Yes, many are already tired of the presidential electioneering (though, I must say, if it weren't for the fact that the next four years of our national direction were at stake, it would be much more entertaining than...

As we move into the fullness of spring here in Birmingham, the nation seems to be holding its collective breath (and getting the popcorn ready) for what will prove to be a fascinating election cycle. I don't presume to have any foresight into the matter, butwhat I can...

Ah, sweet May. I love it. The birds are chirping and the flowers are blooming. Once the weather begins to get warmer, you see people start thinking about summer and, of course, they want to lose weight to look good in their bathing suits. Why do so many wait until it...
