Sunday Service – PMI Charity Cup
June 26, 2011This week’s post is a shift from the usual charity spotlight. The company I work for, Progressive Medical, Inc.

May 15, 2011Can you imagine spoon feeding your child eight teaspoons of sugar every day? If your children drink chocolate milk or strawberry milk with breakfast, and then maybe again with lunch or snack, you might as well just pour that much sugar down their throats. In addition, each teaspoon of sugar also has fifteen calories, so [...]
Thank you Thursday
May 12, 2011Do you have a parent, grandparent or family friend living in a nursing home? I do. My Mom, in the depths of Alzheimer’s, has been a nursing home resident for about five years. My brother lives a relatively short distance away and visits her once or twice a month, these days. I live over five hundred miles [...]
