For Mother’s Day I coerced my 19-year-old son, Chris, into an overnighter in Orange County. Once he turned 19, between college, work and his active social life, he has become a ghost in our home. As part of our excursion, we were hitting Pep Boys looking to for a synthetic oil called “Royal Purple” for his much beloved 240SX. Because of its popularity store after store were out of it, and time after time, I sat in the car seeing that grimace on his face become more intense in disappointment. Why do I bring this up with you?...
We, as believers, have to deal with problems of every sort – at work, school, in our neighborhood, in civic organizations, in our churches.

As Christians we live in a society made up of communities of people living, working, playing a...

Juliana Tipton, who lives on Big Oak Drive, is a lady with a cause.
