Our Lord instructed us in Matthew 10:16: “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.”
In the increasingly perilous times we find ourselves in, it is imperative that we maintain our sanity and our health — body, mind and soul — so that we can survive the trials to come and live to fight another day.
That is the purpose of this blog.
To that end, we will impart medical information and tips on health; use humor to relieve your stress with funnies and caption contests; remind you of the goodness of God’s creation with posts on animals and pets; and uplift your spirit and soul with “Sunday Devotionals”.
May God bless you and may God have mercy on America.

Doc sheep have teeth so is it ok if they bite back when abused? Sorry an attempt at a joke. Not good at this though lol.
So true what you say about the abuse. It is abuse if not terrorism.
Yet from watching the doves at the bird feeder this winter they surely know how to be feisty when it comes to food and survival. They can actually be quite aggressive and when they do fight each other, the feathers go flying, literally.
To be wise as serpents is the challenge. How wise is a serpent? Is a serpent as wise as it is cunning?
When we think of the serpent, we think of the tree in the middle of the garden.
What did the serpent have to gain by his wisdom and what price did he pay?
Hmmmmm………
I’ve given the “wise as serpent” counsel some thought. Though the Devil took the form of a snake in the Genesis account of the Fall, it’s both unfair and incorrect to generalize from that and conclude that all snakes are inherently evil.
Tried to post but nothing happened will try again later Thank you Doc for this.
You surely have the hand of God on you.
Glad to be here.
God bless you, doctor. Looking forward to continuing our online “friendship”. Glad you all didn’t go away! I bookmarked both blogs.
Thank you for your perseverance. Along the lines of this new blog…my advice is that everything that was old is new again. One of my antecedents came here fr England to Penna., in 1717, as a practicing Quaker “Doctor” of the time. He was known up and down the Eastern seaboard for his practices. One of his many-times great-granddaughters was my great-grandmother. She brought his folk medicines into our family. We collected in the wild what we needed seasonally, according to her directions, for anticipated ills/treatments.
