It's a balmy Saturday afternoon as I pull up in front of their charming home. The sun's radiance magically highlights the soft green grass of the extensive lawn. As I notice the toys and sports gear, I imagine that this field has held many a ball game. Approaching the walkway with anticipation, I am barely [...]
I had an experience recently that made me think. I was in Old Navy buying some clothes. They were having a sale, so the line was long, twenty people at least, when I went to check out. Once I made it close to the front, I noticed a woman ahead of me walk toward the [...]
As I sat down to write this article, I certainly knew that I wanted to share the glorious story of Easter. So, I opened my Bible to the sections that chronicle the death and resurrection of Jesus. As I gazed at the thin pages before me, I asked myself, "How long, Yancey, has it been [...]

A young dad was excited to take his 3 year old boy to participate in a father-son charity event through their church. He looked forward to teaching his child the value of serving others and hoped he would gain a great foundation in how Jesus taught people to treat each other with kindness and compassion. [...]

I recently attended the funeral of my husband’s stepmother.
