How to Live MLK Day Every Day

I only have a vague memory of Dr. Martin Luther King.  I was just 3 years old when he was brutally assassinated.  I simply remember seeing the reports about him when my dad was watching the news.   As someone who is white, I really have no understanding of what it is like for others to […]

Back in September my family took a vacation at Disney World in Florida. I had always wanted to stay at one of the Disney resorts. (Yes I am still a kid at heart). The week was a blast with all the rides, shows and way too much food. However, beyond all the activities I was captivated by […]

What If?

 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. [18] But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you […]
