Government Bullies
This book was recommended to me by a champion in my life, Jesse Reynolds. If you sense something is wrong with our government, you’ll learn what the issues are in this book. Powerful read but it will make you angry.

Economic Outpatient Care
EOC is defined in the last full sentence of the page. This resonates with me because my parents give my siblings and I nothing. No money, no gifts beyond wedding presents and other normal things. Is that good or not good? I don’t really know except that at age 45 I am grateful for the … Read more
