In the spring of 2020 the US Government passed an economic stimulus package designed to offset the negative financial effects of the Corona Virus Pandemic.

As the days passed, our government …

Music Speaks When Words Fail
Music gives us a way to communicate where words fail. Countless times we are “stuck for words” or we exclaim “I just can’t describe it!” It is music that knows no language barrier, and it is music that speaks to the soul. Have you ever tried to watch a movie without the sound? Sure, you can read the captions, but …
“Isolation:” What it means for You and the Deaf
In America and throughout the world, we are being introduced to terms that are unfamiliar to us. Just as in the days after the terror attack on September 11, 2001, we are hearing of and learning about all kinds of new restrictions and a “new norm.” One of the words we have learned is not a new word, but we …
Beyond Repair
I grew up in a home where both of my parents professed their belief that Jesus Christ is their personal savior.

Who Is Jesus?
The date on the lower, right-hand side of my PC’s taskbar was staring at me and reminding me that it has been 2,019 years since Jesus Christ was born in human flesh on this earth.
