We’ve all heard how kids say the darndest things. And as a grandma, having raised two boys and now enjoying a seven-year-old grandson, I hear amazing things in unexpected and chatty conversations with my grandson, Kade.

I heard a sermon a week ago that really struck a nerve and it is possible it would strike a nerve for most of us. The preacher spoke about how we should let go of the trash in our lives and instead grab onto things that have meaning and purpose. He made a declarative statement of “delete the app” and wow, that one really landed hard. It made me think a lot about the things that I have allowed to become time stealers and how much time I allow myself to waste in a day, when there are so many other things to do that would be so much more beneficial.
If you are an avid reader of my columns, you may recall that several weeks ago, I wrote a column entitled Comfortably Numb, that equated our life to the Pink Floyd song of the same name. No, this isn’t a sequel to that column, but it does loosely have its origin in the Pink Floyd album that gave us Comfortably Numb.

The good news is there are things you can do to keep your heart healthy.
