The Modern Age is one of information overload. Bombarded, surrounded, and battered by facts, figures, opinions and seemingly whatever else comes out of anyone’s head from all directions at all hours of the day and night. It’s exhausting. In the pens of such luminaries as Henry James, E M Delafield, C E Montague, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and many others we connect with old fashioned media from publishing and advertising to telegrams and radio and everything in between in ways that are surprising, enlightening but always entertaining.

Every child of God, despite our past spiritual experiences, can expect to have our faith and testimony tested during our spiritual journey. Doubt is a normal part of our faith experience. The question is not whether moments of doubt will arise in our lives, but where we will turn and who we will look to when they do arise. Our Savior, Jesus Christ, taught us where to look when doubt threatens our faith.

A recent survey found that a large majority of people who describe themselves as Christians struggle with faith and often succumb to fear and unbelief. The enemy has used our lack of understanding, along with fear and unbelief, to rob us of our inherited blessings through Christ. For many, faith has become a social media hashtag or some positive force that everyone can access to facilitate a better life. However, faith is not a social media hashtag, nor is it some positive force flowing throughout the universe that we tap into like a Star Wars Jedi.

While the United States is considered the most technologically advanced nation in the world, spiritual regression abounds.

Robert Dean Emslie (1859–1943) spent fifty-six of his eighty-four years in professional baseball—eight as a player and forty-nine as an umpire.

Emslie endured the rough-and-tumble umpire-baiting 1890s, the Deadball era, injuries from thrown and batted balls, physical and verbal assaults from players and fans, and criticism in the press.

When all the species of birds, trees, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, wildflowers, dragonflies, tiger beetles, and ants are tallied, Alabama harbors more species than ninety percent of the other states in the US. The state's 4,533 species, with more being inventoried and discovered each year, are supported by no less than sixty-four distinct ecological systems—each a unique blend of soil, water, sunlight, heat, and natural disturbance regimes. Although Alabama is teeming with life, the state's prominence as a refuge for plants and animals is poorly appreciated.
