Kindness Ninja Starts School Revolution
Brian Williams was supposed to be a high-powered, highly paid businessman. In college, he was ranked as the top business student in the country, as in the entire United States. Only, when he got out into the real world, he found he wasn’t crazy about some of the shadier practices happening behind the scenes. Now,
Prayer Box
I saw something today that took my breath away. Downtown Athens is home to quite a few big old beautiful churches, but one in particular caught my eye this morning. I have driven past First United Methodist many times. I’d say hundreds, but I’ve only lived here two years, so that may be a stretch.

We Are All Human
I ordered chicken tenders at the pool last summer for my kids. We are clearly not foodies (or we wouldn’t have ordered chicken tenders in the first place), but this meal was inedible.
