One Pharmacist's View

Is Gambling OK For Me?Years ago, I was the teacher of the elder men’s class at the First Baptist Church here in Allen (a position I no longer hold) and one old guy, tiring of hearing about Moses and Luke and John and other guys like that, wondered what we thought about gambling.

Sometimes We Forget I’ve been laid up sick a few days this new year and am making efforts to get all my ducks lined up so I can have some vertebrae surgically repaired and realigned so I can get back to normal.Whatever that is.I have a memory of a “long-ago time” concerning a nice lady named Dora.

Christmas Memories of 1955 At my old age of many Christmas memories, I heard a song on the radio the other day driving back from Oklahoma City. My carload of family was driving back to Allen after attending the funeral of my much-loved brother-inlaw, Fred Ellis, in Moore.

Considering December 7 th So why do we still make something of a fuss about “Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, 1941?” It marks an important historical date for America. December 7th marks the first time any nation had dared attack us on our soil.
