TheDiscipleMD In 1980, I was working in Washington, D.C. at a food wholesale outlet. At the time, I was living on the outskirts of D.C. and was driving a 1966 Ford Mustang. This Mustang was unique in that the gas gauge was broken, and I never knew how much gas I had in the tank. […]

TheDiscipleMD A number of years ago I was preparing to teach an early morning religious class for our youth. It was centered on the gift of “spikenard” that Mary used to anoint the head and feet of the Savior just prior to his death. The lesson asked the instructor to bring to class a memorable […]

TheDiscipleMD A few years ago we held our annual family Christmas party. The highlight for me was when time was turned over to my now deceased father, then 87, to say a few words. He spoke a few words about my mother, who died in 2002. In his remarks, referring to my mother, he said: […]

TheDiscipleMD When I was a kid growing up in the 1960s, the old cliche was the story of the housewife running off with the “Milkman”.” At that day and age, the “Milkman” was, for most women, the only man they ever came into constant contact with outside of their husbands. The “Mailman” and “Fuller Brush” […]
