Although I’ve had a number of jobs throughout my life, my first career was in the newspaper business where I was a reporter and editor.

My wife likes to encourage me. After I write a blog she sends me a note telling me that she thought it was good…and tells me where the typos are! A couple blogs ago she sent me her regular note, which I appreciate very much, and suggested a new topic. “I’d like to see you

One of my favorite books in scripture is the book of Job (pronounced with a long O like toad). It is thought to be the oldest book of the Bible written somewhere between 2000-1800 B.C. – roughly 4,000 years ago. It deals with man’s greatest question in the world – human suffering. I think I
