I was raised by a racist. I grew up in rural west Texas, raised by two loving Christians who did their best to raise me with the same ideals they had.

Ready or not, the time is now
We ran out the doors March 6 without looking back. We were ready for spring break and a time to break out of our mundane schedule. Now we are missing our mundane schedule.
