We say and believe that Jesus is in us and we are in him.

This is something that people don't think about. I know I didn't.

In a sense that is a dad, but my dad to me is more than that.

Under the direction of history teacher Dave Jackson and English teacher Mike Pratley, the students worked through imagery exercises to visualize a growing experience that depicts life in Benzie County.

We looked up at the sky, waiting to see something special. The anticipation of that night was almost unbearable. We were going to see our first meteor shower.

These are the days in which the sun is shining, caressing one's skin with golden, heated rays. The birds sing out from their perches, and the air holds a certain palpable wellness and benevolence. This day had started like this.

I was at my brother's playoff football game.

Though our involvement in keeping Korea communism-free stopped long ago, there may just be a new "Korean Conflict" developing right here in the United States.

The "disenfranchised" specifically includes the Americans with analog broadcasting television, or in simpler terms, free basic network channels with antenna adjusting required.

What do you think of when you hear these words? Most of you probably think of killing; the killing of a human. I bet most of you don't think about the killing of a baby as it relates to those words.

The thing is, being mature can get old.
