  2. Roger Meyer

We have all delightedly and amusedly watched little children trying to learn to walk. They take a few short jerky steps, lose their balance, and plop down on their bottom.

  2. J. Davy Crockett III

Much of the Christian-professing world has been observing Lent, a time of self-denial in preparation for Easter.

The term has become synonymous with the phrase “the end of the world,” and many believe that it marks the end of all life on earth!

  2. J. Davy Crockett III

The cool, bright spring morning was nearly perfect for an invigorating walk. As I approached a wooded green belt, the delightful sweet smell of honeysuckle in bloom wafted over me.
