Sliding Into Home
I am not a huge fan of baseball or of any sport for that matter. However, I did watch the Chicago Cubs make it to the World Series back in 2016. It was very exciting. Since then, I have watched a little more baseball than I used to. A reason

Wings of Despair
by Dave Jacobs August 10, 2023 “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” Prov.14:34 “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3:13 About a mile or so down the road from my home is a poultry farm. Often,

Prayer: America’s Hope
by Mark A Zarr America was built on the foundation and knowledge that our freedoms are endowed to us from the Creator. It is odd to me that God is one of the last places we think to look for the restoration of our freedoms. We rally and cry out to
