Life, It is Crapshoot
Life throws at you many curves. You think you are catching up and something happens to knock you down again. From unexpected car repairs, to a leaky water heater, to a dishwasher that decided to stop in the middle of its run cycle, to a microwave that stops heating your food, to a refrigerator that refuses to keep your food cold, and so on and so forth. You've got the idea. I started in April of 2019 accumulating debt. I thought I almost was able to pay it off by June of 2021, and of course, more debt started to reappear. I reached my maximum debt in October of 2023, and since then I began to get hold of it until June of 2024, and then again, more debt showed up. It seems I am heading now in the right direction. But wait, my real estate tax bill will be here in July, and I had some car engine problems recently that will knock me down (or up in the curve) again. Life happens, and that is why they call it life. It is crapshoot.

How to get rid of the film on your tongue, white or any other color?
Physicians and dentists may recommend an antifungal medications for the white film over your tongue. Some may recommend to scrape it off with a tongue scrapper. These may work partially. Others may recommend using gargles, all type of gargles. I have found a much simpler way to do it; after you finish brushing your teeth, use your toothbrush and brush off your tongue over the affected area. If you do that daily for about 8-10 weeks, that film is all but gone. It just needs patience and determination.

The Dignity Act
The Samaritans were looked down by their society. Jesus said this parable about a man who was attacked by thieves and was left to die on the side of the road. In our time, someone would've called 911 for help, but in Jesus time people relied on other people's help. Many passed by that man on the side of the road. Priests, good faithful people, and ordinary citizens, but none stop for help, except for that Samaritan. We all know his story. We call him the Good Samaritan. In fact, there is a law written after him, the Good Samaritan law. The Samaritan in that story reflects the dignity that every human being deserves regardless who they are. The Samaritan did not inquire about the man on the side of the road before rendering him the help that he needed. He did not blame him for his misfortune and that he deserved to be thrown on the side of the road to die. He treated him with dignity. Dignity conquers evil and always wins. The Good Samaritan acted with dignity. Jesus said whatever you do to the least among you, you will do it to me. He wants us to treat others as if they were Jesus. I need to remember that myself. I need to remember to treat others with dignity. The Good Teacher wants us to live our lives with dignity and treat others with dignity. Meanwhile, I just passed by a car accident on the road. Oh well, I'll call 911!

The Ten Commandments
"Now the Lord spoke all these words, saying;
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
You shall not make for yourself an idol or a likeness of anything in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth. You shall not bow down to them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me; but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: neither you, nor your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, your cattle, nor your stranger who sojourns with you. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath Day and hallowed it.
Honor your father and mother that it may be well with you, and your days may be long upon the good land the Lord your God is giving you.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your neighbor's wife or his house, and neither shall you covet his field, nor his male servant, his female servant, his ox, his donkey, any of his cattle, or whatever belongs to your neighbor."
