I woke up this morning in my usual routine, hitting the snooze twice (I purposefully set my alarm to go off 20 minutes earlier than necessary each morning) then creaking out of bed. The air is a little cold--it’s just below freezing outside. My body is hurting a bit from a surgery I had, and the cold doesn’t help, but life must go on, so I am rising to head to work.

Right up front we need to admit we’re about five months late on this. Sorry about that. It wasn’t because of ace statistician Paula North, but a variety of other non-related factors.

So, Dear Gabby melted into the sunset, but we were still receiving earnest letters for advice. Since no one could possibly top the old girl at what she did, 90&9 decided to strike out in a completely different direction with another unique talent.

It doesn’t matter what political party you are for, you know that America is in a moral crisis.  In fact, according to a Gallup poll, 82 percent of Republicans and 78 percent of Democrats believe that moral values in America are fair or poor.  And if we were to flash back to 40 years ago, only 33 percent of Americans felt that way.  Just watch practically any mainstream television show today, look at the magazine stand, or visit your local mall and I’m sure you’ll see what I mean.  There is a cultural dilemma in America.

“I Determined Not to Walk Before the Cameras Until I had Received an Anointing.”

Wife Swap’s Steve and Kristin Hoover—The ninetyandnine.com Interview

“Christians are Stereotyped as Dull, Mindless, and Weak”
Interviewed by Kent d Curry

            The doorbell rang as I watched episode 144 of The Andy Griffith Show marathon.  The Bluebell dripped from my chin, and I pried myself off the couch to open the door.  No one was there.  Before I closed the door, a yellow spot caught my attention.  Someone had left a box of Lemonheads on my doorstep.  The cardboard stuck to my fingers, keeping me from opening it immediately.  A red ribbon connected the box to a note that read, “Happy Valentine’s.  I am yours. Take me away.”  I didn’t know if that meant for me to take the box or the person who left it.  I set the box on my desk and sat back down.
