I have no doubt that you’ve heard a lot about the events of the past week in Charleston, SC and the subsequent debate about the Confederate Battle Flag at the State House in Columbia. The talking heads have yammered on about racist America and the hatred that is flows through every street since the Trayvon…

Those of you who have been following this blog for a while have heard bits and pieces of the story with my father. My biological father passed away when I was a year old. I grew up with my amazing grandfather as the male influence in my life and when I was eleven my mother…

According to the USGS, a magnitude 7.3 has struck Nepal just 2 weeks after the earthquake that killed 8,000+ people on April 25. BBC reports 4 people have been killed in this earthquake, but that number may rise as aftershocks hit and more victims are discovered. Please pray for the people of Nepal as they…
