Firefighters have been working since Thursday evening to put out a blaze at Baltrusch Farms where 400 to 500 tons of hay caught on fire.

Experts say fleeing causes chaos which feeds into the effectiveness of the ambush, while attacking forward provides the greatest chance of survival. The question here is whether that theory applies to the scenario in which a lone woman is in the bathroom, sitting (y'know), and then spies a giant spider lurking in the shadows a few feet a...

It’s amazing, Lord, the different gifts folks have. Take for instance this story about time: A lady goes into her house; as she steps across the threshold she hears the clock strike once. She sets down her packages, does a variety of things, hears the clock strike once, again; she loads the washing machine, tidies up the laundry room, hears one more strike of the clock. She rushes through a few more chores, jots a note to a friend and hears the clock strike once. She starts the dishwasher, does a few more tasks, grabs her p...
Luke 5:4-11 When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything.

So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw this, he fe...

Sadly, there are some folks who seem bent on undoing those lessons, common sense, and basic morals. One of the classic...
