Human trafficking is a $150 billion industry. One hundred fifty BILLION dollars; let that sink in. More than 30 million people are currently trapped by modern-day slavery; did you know this? I wouldn’t be surprised if you don’t; I wasn’t even fully aware of the magnitude of this industry until...
Remember when the phrase “agree to disagree” was popular? If two people with opposite views found themselves in a conversation where they could not change the other person’s mind, they would “agree to disagree.” They would respect the other person’s right to have a different opinion and move on...
It seems that, everywhere I go, people are describing this time as “the new normal.” In terms of families spending more time together, valuing our time, and not taking the little things for granted, I truly hope this is considered “the new normal.” These past months have been a wake-up call to...
In 2018, Rachel Hollis shot up to stardom with the publication of her book “Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing the Lies About Who You Are So You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be.” This book became wildly popular within the Christian women community; I was even on the launch team for it....

I want to dedicate the column this week to all of our local small businesses. The situation they have been facing for months now could not have been anticipated, and I cannot imagine the sleepless nights and tough decisions they’ve made to do everything they can to keep their dreams alive....
“If I ever get out of here, I’m having my eyes lasered.” Anyone else laugh in disbelief when Patricia said this in “You’ve Got Mail?” I could watch Kathleen Kelly deliver her zingers and wait with anticipation for Joe Fox to deliver fresh daisies every single day if given the chance. But I love my...
“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” As I continue to observe the current state of our community, nation, and world, these words from James 1:19-20 have guided me through...
