Book Description There is a common experience between our experiences today and those before the Civil War many years ago.  The effect of the intersection of faith and politics during these two experiences has had on our elections and our governance is uncanny in their similarities.  Both times an election insurrection was stopped by the sitting vice president.  Both times had people of the same faith on both sides of the social issues of the day claiming God’s favor and willing to divide the nation over those competing positions. Part 1 of this writing focuses on the Civil War era and how liberty centered around the issue of equality.  Some people of faith believed all men were equal, some did not. Part 2 focuses on our present times and how libert...

🌸 The Body Ages; the Imagination Evolves

Image
  How Creativity Shifts Shape but Never Disappears There’s a quiet fear many people carry into their later years: What if my creativity fades? But creativity doesn’t fade — it changes form . When we’re young, creativity is often kinetic. Fast. Impulsive. Hungry. Later in life, it becomes something else: distilled, intentional, spacious. It’s less about producing and more about perceiving. Less about novelty and more about meaning. This shift isn’t a loss. It’s a maturation. The imagination becomes more like a seasoned musician — fewer notes, deeper resonance. The ideas may come more slowly, but they arrive with more clarity. The work may take longer, but it carries more weight. Creative aging is not about fighting the body’s changes. It’s about letting the imagination evolve into its next, wiser form.

Cancer Diary: Location of Tongue Sores

Image
  Does the Location of a Tongue Sore Matter? Yes — Here’s How 1. The Side of the Tongue (High‑Risk Zone) This is the most common location for tongue cancer to appear. Why: The sides of the tongue experience constant friction against the teeth. They have a high density of squamous cells , the type that most oral cancers arise from. Irritation + cell turnover = more opportunities for abnormal growth. What cancerous lesions look like here: A firm , irregular ulcer A raised or thickened patch A sore that doesn’t heal after 2–3 weeks Sometimes painless What benign sores look like here: A bite mark (crescent-shaped or linear) A soft, tender ulcer that improves daily A sore that heals within 1–2 weeks If a sore on the side of the tongue lingers, clinicians take it seriously. 2. The Top of the Tongue (Low‑Risk Zone) The top surface is rarely where cancer starts. Why: It’s covered in papillae (the little bumps), which are less prone to malignant change. It’s e...
