The Dating Game
I must say that dating in 2018 is for the birds!!! The older I get; the less I can tolerate. Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t understand why we must play these games just to get to know someone. Isn’t dating about trying to see who you are compatible with mentally, spiritually, physically, and hopefully in the future? Is it okay to date a plethora of people at the same time? Is it actually called dating when sex gets involved with more than one party in your “dating” scene? Can

Love Thy Neighbor
There is nothing better than having a relationship with your neighbors that create a “village” atmosphere. Every address I have ever lived; I always had great relationships with my neighbors. We looked out for one another regularly and kept a watchful eye out for our children. I can remember when I was a child how my parent’s and grandparent’s neighbors were also my disciplinarians. They made sure I wasn’t doing anything disrespectful or wrong in the area. My current situ
