Protests Are Even Here… In Indiana
At lunchtime the news, while not surprising leapt from Jon Swaner’s mouth. I immediately looked at my phone to find out the specifics even as he spoke of them in the next few minutes.

This Is The Land Of The Free… But…
We have Jewish students afraid for their safety on their campuses. Not just one campus but nearly a dozen of them. Since October 7th, the world tipped upside down for the Israeli’s.

Proclamations

Yet look at the staggering numbers that say otherwise. I have been to the…

Easter Movie Night
Timing. Timing is everything with God. From the moment I saw the previews for ‘Just In Time’ I knew it was something I wanted and maybe needed to watch. The night it debuted was Monday, but I had forgotten and missed it. I kept thinking I will watch this and each day I forgot until…

It’s Good Friday, Again
Today is a day for self reflection and for family conversation. Not all families get to be together today or this weekend though do they? Israeli and American hostages are still in Hamas hands.
