But she also knows who Jesus is because she fell at His feet when she saw Him. The Jews that were present made biting comments like, if Jesus could make a…
barely a week after I made the list. Being the first week of March in the Midwest we froze our assess off. I immediately regretted showing Jack my list at that point. He saw polar plunge and immediately signed us up for the senior plunge. I swear, who ever thought jumping into a lake in freezing temperatures was absolutely positively insane, and the fact that we have kept this tradition for so many years makes the rest of us positively as insane as they were. The funny part was that to make it…

She never wanted me thinking you were the man Maycomb portrayed you as. Ma never lied,…
like a bass drum in my ears as I run. I can barely breathe but I don’t stop. I reach my car, crank the engine and put my foot to the floor. Driving through the streets of Brisbane to the highway, I start to think over Alice’s and my relationship. “You should come over this weekend. We can work on our project.” I messaged her late at night. “Okay, I’ll ask my parents.” Alice answers quickly before confirming she can. On Saturday morning, she arrives at my house. We work on our project, have nice…
It all began with a simple phone call one night after dinner. “Joe,” Joe’s father hollers up the stairs, “it’s for you.
