This Veteran’s Day: You’ve Been Given Much

Last updated on: November 4, 2013 at 10:01 am By marcusbrotherton

This Veterans Day, I wish we might glimpse anew the freedom we’ve been handed. I wish we would read books about veterans and watch war movies and talk to veterans and rent rooms from them.

Last updated on: November 7, 2013 at 7:50 pm By rickjohnson

In light of the recent allegations of ‘bullying’ between two NFL behemoths that have the media in such a dither, I thought I would weigh in on the issue. Rather than post the original blog I intended and risk getting skewered on the rapier of public opinion for my traditional (i.e.: old fashioned) views, I thought I would reconnect with the original story involving a giant bully to see how it was dealt with. I am a big fan on... Read more

Getting Teenagers Talking

Last updated on: November 14, 2013 at 10:08 am By Jonathan McKee

Let's face it. It’s not always easy to engage a teenager in meaningful conversation. If you’re a parent of a teen, you know exactly what I’m talking about. But why is it so difficult to get a teen to open up? Probably because we are talking to them about the wrong thing... Read more

How the Band of Brothers can Point us to God

Last updated on: October 4, 2013 at 9:38 am By marcusbrotherton

A bulldozer had cut a jagged swathe up Mount Currahee, the 3 ½ mile-long incline at Camp Toccoa, Georgia. One company of soldiers—about 140 men—grunted up the trail early one morning in August 1942. They were the men of the now-legendary Easy Company. After almost two years of hard training at Toccoa they parachuted into Normandy on D-Day and into Holland for Operation Market-Garden. They fought their way through Belgium, France and Germany while surviving overwhelming odds in the harshest... Read more
