Old-school news, just in time
by Kevin Burton “You are what you eat,” is a phrase I remember well from my fourth-grade health class. As a 9-year-old, I thought “OK, if you eat turkey, then you’re a turkey, ha ha!” I have moved past that bit of hilarity twice. Once was to seriously understand the value of …

by Kevin Burton “What’s up” is a greeting question we ask each other without thinking about it. It essentially asks, what is at the front of your mind? That good question was the focus of a recent message from the Bible app. My wife Jeannette sent it to me. The app reminds …
by Kevin Burton At a commencement ceremony in Columbus years ago I heard the speaker admonish us to not “confuse what is clever with what is wise.” That stuck with me. Some of the commercials I endure while watching the NFL on Sundays are clever. But there is very little wisdom to …

by Kevin Burton I needed this today and I thought some of you might need it too. This message is written on a 4-by-7 sheet of paper, not attached to anything else. I have it because I have helped my mother move three times in the last seven or eight years. Mom downsized …
