by Eric Dietrich and Brad Tyer People have been parsing the human lifespan into a taxonomy of ages forever. Aristotle proposed three categories: youthful, prime of life, and elderly.

And in the 1980's, British historian Peter Laslett proposed a revised map of three ages, with a caveat for the...

submitted by AMERICAN LEGION OF MONTANA As we celebrated our 244th Independence Day on July 4th, 2020 it is has become apparent for us to reflect on our nation builders who brought us to this amazing republic in 1776.

Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You now, Lord, each day that You give us, is a ‘room of time’. We can use that time or we can abuse it, we can spend it or waste it, we can fill our time with recollections of past failures and moan all the ‘what if’s,’ if only,’ ‘woe is me.’ We can have our own “pity party” with just us as the honored guest, for who, pray tell, would want to come to such a party! Or, woo-hoo - we can fill our ‘room of time’ with peace and happiness, joy and satisfaction. We can be about as glad or as sad as we choo...
