Good evening: “Black lives matter!” has become a rallying cry for many across our country. Of course, it’s true, black lives do matter. But what about other lives: the lives of the unborn, the lives of the elderly? What about the lives of those who have wronged you or let you down? Do they matter?…

Good morning: “Do you mind if I ask you a question?” the hair cutter said. He went on to explain, “I’ve been trying to get closer to God, but I’m not sure how to do it. I’m reading the Bible, but is there something else?” It’s a common question and a vital one. By nature…

Good morning: With roughly 7.5 billion people as our neighbors, it might seem as though one could never feel alone. Yet that is not the case.

Good morning: What’s your biggest pet peeve? For many of us it might be “waiting.” Who wants to wait? Who has the time for it? If the webpage doesn’t pop up onscreen in two seconds or less, forget it. A two-day wait for an Amazon package can be torture. Wait for a red light? Only…

Good morning: The countdown has begun—only 24 days ‘til Christmas! Retailers won’t let you forget it. Over the next weeks they will unleash a constant barrage of email, mail flyers, and text reminders stressing that there’s no time to spare. You have to get ready before it’s too late and the opportunity is lost forever….

Good morning: Now that Thanksgiving is over, what’s next? Are you one of those people who lives for “the next big thing”?
