By Rebecca Dial, SA president After we learned of the wreck a week ago, there have been varied reactions. There are some who want to hold their friends and be held by them. Some are angry at what happened and cannot comprehend why Lindsey was taken from them. Others look to the words of hope that are found in scripture. The ways people react to ... [Read More…]
The Cowboys aren’t popular with the Brits, either
A normal person is 80 percent water. I'm now 80 percent tea. Instead of having holidays like Columbus Day and President's Day, the British have enough tea breaks to replace them.
