The writer of I Corinthians (or as Donald Trump would call it: One Corinthians) Chapter 13 begins by telling us what love is. As a PK (preacher’s kid), I grew up knowing it (and many other verses) by heart. Today, on Valentine’s Day, I would like to add a few more definitions to that author’s […]
Now, before you jump to any conclusions and think I am breaking up with my wife, Carmen, or worse yet, that I have become a Neil Sedaka fan, let me assure you neither of those horrific things is true! Over the last several months, I have been struggling with the decision to leave a job […]
Today, I am very excited to feature a Guest Post from a friend and colleague of mine, Mr. Jason Fisher. He is a consummate professional and one of the most talented and intelligent people I have had the pleasure of working with. His bio follows this post.

It was a drive I had made countless times in my life, though it had been a few years since I had visited. For me it had long been hallowed ground.

A Guest Post by Jill Renee (Ton) Stollenwerk It was the Saturday before Christmas. Carmen and I had just collapsed on the couch in front of a roaring fire.
