Black, yellow, red, brown and white people’s lives are all important, special and most precious, to the one that lovingly formed them. One surely has no choice in their skin color, nor even their place of birth. Scripture states “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and bre…
The fool says in his or her heart there is no God, then they vote Biden/Harris. The CDC recently released the truth noting that only 6% of all deaths attributed to the Covid virus are actually caused by the virus itself. The remaining 94% of Covid deaths are due to causes of co-morbidity suc…
As with just about everything else in 2020, this Labor Day won’t be run of the mill.
(Note: This past week I read a bio of a ‘famous’ person which had a line that this person was listed in Who’s Who. Is there still a Who’s Who? Either way, it reminded me of this, which was written in 2003)
New York farms were among one of the hardest hit sectors of the economic fallout from COVID-19. Demand for supplies dropped dramatically and supply-chain issues completely derailed the marketplace. Considering the already substantial obstacles facing the state’s agriculture industry, it is s…

It is important for all of us to avoid the temptation to fall into tribalism when it comes to politics. Sure, the easiest thing to do is to just “pick your team” and stick with it no matter what.
When I voted in June, I did so confidently and safely, by mail. Maybe you did, too. Tens of thousands of our neighbors certainly did. Almost as many people voted by mail with absentee ballots as voted in person.
Under Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the guidance of health experts from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, New York state has emerged from the deadly shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic to record and maintain the lowest infection rate in the nation.
I remember the motherly admonitions to the kids of the 1950s and 1960s U.S.A.: “Wash your hands; keep your fingers out of your mouth; don’t pick your nose; don’t rub your eyes; don’t unnecessarily handle money, you don’t know where it has been; keep your distance from other people; don’t pic…
A long hot summer, this summer has been longer than any summer I can remember and hotter than any in history. Well maybe I had one longer the summer before I left for college. We had finished up hay early in 1964 I was leaving home for the first time leaving my parents and 8 sibs behind. I o…
