We all make choices about what we are going to carry with us all day. I carry a pocket Bible, my wallet, my phone, usually a pocket knife, keys, pens, and maybe some loose change around just about every day. That is starting to sound like a lot. I can't carry everything I would like … Continue reading What Are You Carrying?

Dignified Servants
We recognize the importance of dignity. Our President has come under fire for using Twitter so much and for the inexcusable language which he has used.
