Naturally, if I came upon a blog entry about a real-life homeless person, I’d have certain expectations. I would immediately think that blog would be an enlightening look into the hardships of a homeless person, or a tale of how such an unfortunate person is a good person in a bad position.

This is not one of those tales.  Read More »

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •  

Within the realm of the earth; there are so many religions out there, one too many to count. A good handful of them branching from Christianity. The one I would like to single out here is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  Read More »

Breaking Free of Some Stereotypes While Embracing Others

Gas Prices Teaching Economics

Tagged:  •    •  

When I was younger, possibly as long ago as elementary school, I didn’t understand what the big deal was over gas prices.
