Are students cheating? Circling back to the question presented in the post AI (Artificial Intelligence), I hope to offer sound reasoning behind the suggestion to teach Emerging Generations how to cultivate AI Literacy. And perhaps it’s not just the young who need to learn how to navigate the current world we live in because they …

The Great Rewiring
Take a morning walk with me along the out-and-back paved trail near my home and, on a typical day, you will witness a demonstration of what social psychologist Jonathan Haidt names The Great Rewiring. You are aware of this phenomenon, as you see it playing out every day, when you encounter the different generations represented …
How You Doin?
For viewers of the 1990s sitcom Friends, Joey Tribbiani altered lives forever with his phrase, “How You Doin?” According to Adrienne Tyler, “Joey shared his ‘foolproof’ technique, in which he would look a woman up and down and say ‘how you doin?’ Rachel and Phoebe were skeptical, but when he tried it on Pheobe, she …
Cows Don’t Give Milk
Two years ago, while browsing social media, the phrase Cows Don’t Give Milk seized my attention, and I wish I knew who to credit for the original posting; however, the note in my phone listed the author as unknown. Fast forward to the present-day rumination on this story and I discover there is an actual …
Let It Go
Long before Queen Elsa belted the song in Disney’s Frozen, the phrase Let It Go was used to encourage people to stop worrying about things that were outside of their control.

When was the last time hearing the lyrics of a song led you to conduct an internet search to answer the following question: How long does it take to Build a Boat? I’m flabbergasted if that was not an item on your week’s to-do list! (Insert sarcasm here). If you don’t track with the connections …
Looks Easy
Looks Easy! Have you ever made this statement out loud, or at least allowed it to run through your mind as you watched someone perform a task? Perhaps you logged onto the internet to search for a how-to video to make a simple household repair. There are entire networks on cable television and oodles of …
Junk Drawer
What is the state of your Junk Drawer? You know you have one! You may call it something else, but you have that space somewhere. Heather Creekmore asks, “Where do you put that random screw that must go to something but needs a home until you identify where? Random lids, twist ties, and pens, lots …
New Kentucky Home
Weep no more, my lady! It’s now been one month since the second moving truck (the first one broke down and they had to reload a new one—don’t even get me started on the phrase If it can go wrong, it will) pulled into the long white driveway of my rental house in Campbellsville. After …
But God
But God…those are the two words penned this morning on the handout containing the lyrics to the music for the Easter service. Digging a pen out of the bottom of my purse, trying to get the ink to flow before I forgot the words that Eugene shared from Ephesians 2:4, I hastily scribbled But God…The …
