What is happening to the world we grew up in? The answer is simple: it is changing… quickly. My neighbor in Florida gave us the paper while we were there. He didn’t need it.

Amnesias… it means to remember in such a way that we relive an experience or event.

Ever since my wife, Jackie, went to work full time for the Air Force our schedules have been mostly mismatched. For thirty years we had Mondays off together. We could catch morning coffee together many days and often dinner. We could sometimes even take Sunday evening through Tuesday morning. Now we work opposite shifts. When she comes home, I have to work, and when I can get free, she is working. We have to be very intentional if we want to spend time together (and we do want to spend time together).
