And when the postponed 2020 season resumes in the spring/winter of 2021, running backs and ground games...
You know, Lord, sitting by the window full of sunshine with the address and birthday book open, one can't help but remember, that You are in command with both life and death. So, as time has passed, it is time to change a few lines in these books, so with pencil in hand, we give retirement center addresses to a couple dear friends and an auntie, now all in their declining years. Our mobile society sees church family and our own family moving, one place or another, all due to...

Perhaps you have experienced both fears at some time in your life. The student who knows the answers to the teacher’s questions may be looked down on by classmates if he gives too many correct answers. The student who needs to pass a...

To a horse unused to the sight and sound, it is downright...
