Well it is a quiet and peaceful morning here in our little valley.

Bob is washing our breakfast dishes, and I am having my coffee and just enjoying this morning. You have to enjoy the good moments when you can, soon I will have to get busy because we...

As a writer, I can’t deny harboring an appreciation for the richness of slang, metaphors, similes and colloquialisms. And yet…there’s something not quite rational about the agitators who force our language to evolve. (“Come on, participle! Crawl up on dry land! That gerund is beating you!”) There is an undisputed utility to manufactured terms such as “gerrymander,” “carpetbagger” and “flyover country”; but other linguistic innovations have been more frivolous. (Society’s onetime fascination wit...

This letter was originally published in the Nashville Tennessean in the 1950’s-60’s. As I think of the terrible slaughter of our American people on the highways I am reminded of the words spoken by Solomon, The wisest man who ever lived, “Where there is no vision the people perish.” Surely, if all the people who get behind the wheels of our vast number of automobiles, trucks and buses would stop for one moment and think seriously of the suffering, pain, heartaches and lost lives of individuals-sometimes whole families wiped out-then we would h...
We’re reminded; the Founders concluded our Constitution would only work for a religion and moral population. Many choose biblical stories, popular to recite, that others admire and applaud. Famously is the “good samaritan” exploit. It’s easy to claim our moral participation from afar, while invoking guilt upon others. The entire world has become our samaritan call, even though this was based on a local appeal while people were on foot. The “foot washing” gesture presents a humble picture, but in today’s shoes, its a bit of nonsense. Ope...

By Deborah Fisher An often quoted phrase related to open government is one by Louis Brandeis, an attorney and associate justice on the Supreme Court whose work and writings spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries. “Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric lights the most efficient policemen,” Brandeis wrote in a Harper’s Weekly article in 1913, one of his many writings on the topic. Brandeis (1856-1941) believed that “sunlight” on government activities could expose wrongdoing, corruption and inefficiency. It could bri...
