Land of the Free and Home of the Brave?
Each Memorial Day we pause to honor those who died in the military service of our country. We honor them by remembering what they died for. And we who live on because of their sacrifice not only enjoy freedom, but are also called to defend it here at home. “At what point then is the […]

You’ve Got a Friend
We have become the most connected disconnected people in history. Thanks to technology, we are wired to anything and everything worldwide 24/7.
