Proposals to achieve this goal have been debated at local school boards, school district…
by Doris Murdoch I retired from teaching four years ago. Over the past four years, I have reminisced over the many experiences one could have with thirty-four years of teaching. When I think of parent conferences, I recall one where a grandmother came in to accuse me of being a racist. I listened to her…
by Doris Murdoch I viewed the movie, “Mary and Martha”, on Prime TV today. It was a very moving movie….I cried through this one!

by Renee Crosby Are you getting a visual of a panhandler on a street corner with a cardboard sign inscribed with something close to “anything helps?” Have you ever thought to wonder what they really want? Most of us, me included, assume they want us to open the window and hand them a few bucks….
by Renee Crosby I believe we cannot end homelessness in our country, do you? I mean after all, Jesus said, “you will always have the poor among you.” [John 12:8] Is it time for us to just reconcile that it is a cause without end? Let’s face it people, it’s a daunting, worldly, far reaching…
by H. Van Dyke Parunak About the time that my book Except for Fornication (Energion, 2011) appeared, a gentleman with a troubled marital history visited our assembly. His wife had left him and married someone else. Then she left her new husband, and our friend joyfully announced one day that she wanted him to remarry…
