There’s a longstanding joke among the residents of Nebraska. The Midwesterners claim that if you don’t like the weather, you only need to wait 10 minutes. In a state where you can experience the joy of snow and 80 degree weather within a 24 hour period, you can understand where this position originates. A positive […]

Actually, I wouldn’t find that annoying, I […]
A guest post by Sam Kilpatrick. My wife is awesome. Of course I have to say that because I’m married to her, and she is sitting across from me in the lounge! We’ve been talking about some of the ways in which I’ve made a difference in ministry or teaching or work and then it […]
