by Kevin Burton In the great human family James Taylor got the voice. The rest of us are just making do. That’s a favorite old saying of mine. It may be difficult to stick to it, given the thousands of talented singers we’ve heard over the years. But every time I listen to …
How Does God Look At Time?
by Kevin Burton Spilled some ink talking about time Friday and I’m still on that theme today. I told the story of how my cat Gabbie has 13 candles on her birthday cake not 11 as I thought (“My Cat Can’t Save Time In A Bottle,” Jan. 21) and went on to look …

New Kitties Alter Household Routine
by Kevin Burton Does anyone make “kitty on board’ stickers the way they make ones for “baby on board? If so, I might need one as a reminder. Our house had been cat-less for two years before we adopted 11-year-old Gabbie and 6-year-old Ronnie last month from Save the Kitties, a cat rescue …
