Last Wednesday night, I’d planned to attend a church function in Simpsonville, but due to the threatening weather and distance, I decided to stay with my fiancé Brad.
We played a game together.
Technology impacts nearly every aspect of our lives these days.
This job requires a good deal of time in front of the computer—typing up articles, checking emails and laying out pages.

The dignity of each individual is not based on the actions of that person but on the fact that each person is made in the image of God.
Snow has a way of hushing everyday activities.
Plans, to-do-lists and events often, especially in the south, come to a halt with cancellations or postponements.
Special activities take the place of the ordinary.
