The most meaningful sermons are lived, not preached. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God. Roland “Poppy” Kelm was the kind of man who lit up a room the moment he stepped in—not because he demanded attention, but because his warmth and joy were impossible to ignore. Roland met each day with a bubbling sense of humor and a deep, steady kindness. He made life feel lighter, more colorful, and a whole lot more fun. Mr. Kelm held his faith dear and carried his beliefs with quiet strength, always grounded, always guided by a deep spiritual compass. Life didn't harden him. He was a delight. We've reached the age where life stops giving things, but takes them away. But don't fear sadness, as it tends to sit next to love. This is the time that we let go, and these are the words that...

Speight, Atkins, Reynolds-Jackson legislation will exempt nursing mothers from jury service (TRENTON) — A bill that will allow nursing mothers to be exempt from jury duty was signed into law today. Bill A1992, sponsored by Assemblywoman Shanique Speight, Assemblyman Reginald Atkins, and Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, takes a significant step toward ensuring fairness and compassion in New Jersey’s jury duty process. Previously, nursing mothers were not explicitly exempted from jury duty, often creating a hardship for new moms. This law changes that by exempting nursing mothers from jury duty when the child is one year of age or younger. “We have a moral obligation to support new moms, and that includes helping women who choose to feed their babies by nursing or pumping, both of which offer lifelong benefits to the child,” said Assemblywoman Speight (D-Essex, Hudson). “By exempting nursing and pumping mothers from jury duty for the first year of...

By Dorothy Philbin Exclusive for CNBNews ROME, ITALY (APRIL 23, 2025)(CNBNews)--Pope Francis passed on April 21, 2025, at the age of 88. His cause of death was a stroke that prompted irreversible heart failure, according to a death certificate issued by the Vatican. He was born Jorge Maria Bergoglio on December 17, 1936, in Argentina. He spent his entire life in Argentina until becoming Pope on March 13, 2013, the first Pope from the Southern Hemisphere. He chose the name Francis to honor St. Francis of Assisi for whom he had great respect over the years. #popefrancis #vatican Pope Francis was ordained a Jesuit priest on December 13, 1969. The Jesuits are known for being an austere order of priests, a characteristic that Pope Francis would take all the way to the Vatican. Vatican employees learned about austerity immediately.

You might think finding someone special is the same everywhere, but dating in different cities can feel like playing entirely different games. The way people meet, talk, and what they look for can change a lot depending on where you live. Think about the difference between super-fast New York City and laid-back Austin. That contrast gives you a hint – local aura seriously affects the dating setting. In this post, we'll look at how things like city speed, popular hangouts, communication styles, and local priorities shape dating, using examples from various places. Remember, these are general trends; people are still people, but knowing the native flavor helps. The Pace of the Place Does your city run on caffeine or chamomile tea? The overall speed of life definitely spills over into dating. It affects how fast singles expect replies on dating apps, how quickly they want to meet up after matching,...

By Slim Randles | CNBNews Contributor Did you know …which is the oldest settlement in the United States? Forget Jamestown. Forget Roanoke. Forget St. Augustine. According to book learning, the oldest settlement in the United States is Acoma Pueblo, which sits on top of a 365-foot-high mesa in the middle of New Mexico. It will come as no surprise that Native American settlements predate European ones, but it may surprise some people that Acoma Pueblo, west of Albuquerque, New Mexico, has been continuously occupied since the 12th century. The Acoma still inhabit their “Sky City,” a settlement of about 4,800 people. Traditionally hunters and traders, the Acoma people now make their income from a cultural center and casino complex. Coincidentally, the oldest state capital in the United States is Santa Fe, which recently celebrated its 400th anniversary. Now that’s what it says in the fact book, but it’s quite common...

It would be difficult to deny that the heart-pounding feeling of successfully winning a bet or a lottery is an amazing one. After taking a leap of faith or relying on our knowledge and skills, we are left with one of two outcomes. And when the outcome is positive, it also comes with big winnings and a sense of accomplishment. However, it is important to remember that winnings are much less frequent, and this makes an impression that casinos tend to earn big amounts of money. Before we begin counting their profits, we shouldn’t forget one simple and annoying factor—taxes. In Lithuania, federal taxation reaches a lot of sectors, and people tend to overlook how gambling businesses are affected by it. Gambling in Lithuania The very first thing to understand is that gambling is pretty popular in Lithuania. Location-based casinos manage to attract many players into their halls. Starting with...
