linkBy: Curtis Shelburne God loves his children so completely that he could not possibly love us more and he will never choose to love us less. We are absolutely secure in that love. Why is that so hard for us to believe?

We’ve traded our rags for the finest clothes and our swill for the finest food. We’re almost afra... Full story

Some trucks, trailers, and farming implements that may or may not still be of any use. Piles of wire, posts, and pipe of all sorts. Two or t...

Most would like to think there is no place for politics in the courtroom. Committee member Edward Chavez asked Chandler how he felt a...
The rather disturbed president of the Spokane, Washington, NAACP chapter is exposed as a liar by her parents, and it makes national news and causes an uproar. link Kent McManigal Why does her lie matter to anyone outside her club? Race only matters to racists. Worse lies are told every day by people using those lies to harm innocent people they don’t even know.
