Friend, As I look over the cornfields of Nebraska, whether I’m working, chatting with a friend, or doing homework (which is usually the case)- my heart often wanders. It wanders to South Dakota where I’ve spent significant time with Native American people and playing with the children there during summer nights at camp. It ventures to Guatemala where approximately 52 girls, some orphans or abandoned, and who have known the hardships and realities of life, spent a week teaching me the meaning of…

My all time favorite country music star, is Luke Bryan and his song, “Kick the Dust Up”. It wasn’t until I entered high school, when I began to start listening to country music. Me and my friends would always listen to it as a joke and eventually became something we would listen to while…
