Deborah Farrar Everything...YESTERDAY!

Everyone is in such a hurry. Period. And the more I think about it, the more it is starting to bother me. I know, we all get in our ‘go, go, go’ modes, but rarely do we ever consider that we may not have as much time as we think. Do you think the women who went to their daily workout at LA Fitness ever would have thought they wouldn’t make it out? Do you think they would have thought some random stranger decided to target their particular fitness class and go on a… Continue

Ben McCann Funding a Charitable Life Estate Plan Using Life Insurance

Cindy Dunston Quirk The Blessing of Parents

Like most of us, I considered my parents immortal. They would always be here to go visit; they would be on the other end of the phone when I called to talk. I could ask questions, inquire about weird relatives and ponder if I actually did have any particular childhood vaccination. My family is pretty close knit and I am extremely close to my parents. For the past twenty-five years I have resided in Indiana and have called Mama and Daddy at least once a day just to see how they were doing and se… Continue

Mike Magan The death of Tim Russert: so much for HIPPA and health care privacy
