It’s important that we begin to cherish every moment. The recent police shootings have really been weighing in on my heart. Throughout this week, I’ve thought about Sean Bell and how he was killed the night before his wedding. I thought about Oscar Grant and how he was shot while handcuffed in Fruitvale Station. I’ve…

    What's Wrong With Being A Godly, Manly, Man? One day, while waiting in a doctor's office, I noticed a lady walking across the room with her arms and hands completely loaded down with a box and several files. I was taught to be a gentleman, so I stood up and said, let me help you with the door.
