Stop. Think. Reflect. Appreciate. Pray.
Life is busy and too often we worry too much about the little things. I ask each of you to take a few minutes of your time today and read this story about Chase Ringler, the son of some high school classmates of mine who has cancer. I’m not asking you to donate money to cancer research (though that would be wonderful) - all I am asking is that you take a few moment to read this short blog...

The Neda Soltani Video: To Watch or Not To Watch
The disturbing video showing the agonizing shooting death of 19-year-old Iranian student Neda Soltani has been viewed more than a million times on YouTube alone.
