During a recent flip through the channels in a quest to find something worthy of watching, I stumbled across an old fav from my youth-Three’s Company. I thought “Hey, I could use some good ole fashion slap-stick comedy, some harmless fun, and nothing too racy or crude.” Ummm, yeah, not so much. My memory had ...
“Hi, my name is Mitch and I’m a movie-aholic”. “Hi Mitch!” Okay, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but maybe not. I have been an avid movie watcher since I can remember. I can be sucked into a heart-tugging, light-hearted romantic comedy like Sleepless In Seattle, just as easily as a deeply moving, epic ...
"Even as faithful followers of Jesus, we are sometimes left waiting and wondering how and when God will answer our prayers. He loves when we share our hearts with him; our dreams and desires, our fears and our disappointments. And I believe we bring a smile to His face as we seek answers and yet wait ...

I recently saw a commercial for a long-time favorite of the Price family, The Biggest Loser. It is a reality tv show that was extremely popular about a decade ago and continues to run on the USA Network. For those who need a refresher, the show features obese or overweight contestants competing to win a ...
All too often, this time of the year, many of us get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season and lose perspective on what’s really important. It’s one of the most overused clichés this time of year, but does anyone really pay attention to the “reason for the season”? Most people, ...
Tis the season for . . . Christmas Movies! Yay! Unless, of course, you are the Hallmark Channel or Lifetime with whom it seems any season is suitable for them to be shown. And I use the term "Christmas movie" extremely loosely given the fact that the majority of them scarcely, if ever, mention its ...
Another set-back, another unmet expectation, another COVID update. Will there be a shutdown? A slowdown? Disappointment seems to be the norm nowadays, and it appears that the proverbial "second boot" continues to drop over and over again this year.
