Why smile when push mowing 10 days of growth at noon on a day with a heat warning? I’m remembering with thankfulness, that I live a blessed life, and whether I rise high or sink low, my identity is in the Christ I worship. If you’d like to know more, I’ll listen and pray with you.

For his eighth grade graduation gift, Barney told us years ago that he wanted to pay his respects at Pearl Harbor. An excellent choice, and we couldn’t be more proud of him. This Memorial Day, we remember.

As we celebrate National Nurses Week (May 6-12), I am deeply honored to have been recognized as an advocate for the profession of nursing. Everyone has a story of a nurse who has gone above and beyond in a time of trial. Those stories need to be shared and celebrated.

Some ‘Star Wars’ stories have already become reality

There are elements of these ancient, distant George Lucas stories that might seem like science fiction but are, in fact, science reality.
