August 19, 2026

August 19, 2026

Kathy Weaver’s outdoor Zen den.

WHAT IF? 

August 19, 2026

By Peggy Lindsey We are often caught up dealing with an overfilled to-do list in our daily grind, aren’t we? There is always something to accomplish . . . do the laundry, pay the bills, get to the market, read the book . . . And our minds move non-stop. Yet, murmuring in the background of noise, our hearts ask, “What if?”  “What if” . . . These two words, when brought together, are so powerful. They

Remembering a Favorite Blogger and Friend

August 19, 2026

Editor’s Note:  I followed John Swinburn’s daily blog for several years. Though we kept up with each other on Facebook, we never met in person. Still, his posts reliably offered a chuckle, a thoughtful musing, and always a welcome pause in my workday to enjoy his observations.  Several years ago, he let us reprint “Word Prison,” a blog that particularly intrigued me. In celebration of his thoughtful voice, we’re sharing it again with the hope you
