Where Was God When Life Was Dark?
I love this little story by Clovis Chappell that I heard second-hand from Haddon Robinson. Here is how I remember it: Once a man married a woman from Kentucky.

Photographic evidence of them “taking hold.” Have you ever had trouble training your young sons to “take hold” of a task […]
Storytelling Adventures

I Might Not Live to Be An Old Man
My brother-in-law Bob Dunbar was a generous man. When he suddenly died the first week of February hundreds and hundreds of people gathered to mourn his passing and celebrate his life.
