I had the great opportunity to spend a week on the Rosebud Indian Reservation. Although, I do not think one week was adequate, it was a great learning and growing experience. I was able to serve with Tree of Life Ministry and others in the community. The director of Tree of Life, Linda, did a great job getting things set up and planned for us so as to make the most out of the trip. The group did a great job together and had an enjoyable time as we were able to accomplish a lot of various and…

A syndicate of American soldiers brutally killed most of the people—women, children and old men—in the village of My Lai on March 16, 1968. More than 500 people were slaughtered in the My Lai massacre, as well as young…

Would Concealed Carry Deter Violence on Campus? How many people do you see every day that carry a gun on them? I am betting that you don’t see anyone besides police officers. If people get into a car crash and the driver was drunk, do we blame the car? No we blame the driver so what’s the different with guns. Gun are not the problem that we are having, it’s the people that give guns a reputation. People carry guns not to cause or even seek to find trouble, but just that slim chance that your…

Point blank, and the gun is fired. Aimed at the other person, whose hands shake with rage, or is it fear? Ambulances and hospital doctors go sporadic, only mere moments to save a person’s life. A school shooter takes the life of multiple students and then attempts his own. All of this could have been solved if someone was there to prevent the shooter. although in a moments heat there is not going to be officers, sometimes a vigilantly must help others.
