As I get older and older I try harder not to fall into the trap of “because” and “that’s the way it’s always been done”. I didn’t like that when I was younger and don’t want that for myself at an advanced age. I know I will never be modern or hip but I at…
It comes up all the time. People claim that this country was not founded on Christianity. That is hogwash. Pilgrims Came to Escape The pilgrims, as you will recall, were, Christians fleeing Europe in order to escape religious persecution, and they literally began their stay in their new land with the words, “In the name…
I have found that the rewards of blogging have been inspiring and engaging.

Caris Levert, G, Michigan – He would likely be higher if he hadn’t missed the last two month of the season with an injury to his foot. He is a good shooter for a 6’7″ player as he was accurate 40% of the time on the 3-pt attempts. Look for him to play himself…
