Hoosiers Everywhere Are Mourning
Growing up in Southern Indiana there aren’t too many of us who don’t know the name Bobby Knight. This coach is legendary and my Dad just happens to also be a high school basketball player back in his day. I have seen the video of him throwing the chair multiple times in my life even…

Sunday Morning
Working as we had for the three previous days for the Estate Sale I was pretty exhausted this past Sunday Morning. Even with sleeping in past 7 am, I was still half asleep that morning through the services. My emotions however, were up high and lots of things unfolded from class time to just before…
