When my daughter and son-in-law announced in May of 2021 that they were moving to Seattle with my then almost-one-year-old granddaughter, I was both happy for them and sad for me. It was a great opportunity for them and a chance to explore a new area of this beautiful country we live in, but it really posed great consternation for me and my husband. They had been living near Columbia, and we had gotten plenty of opportunities to spend time with them and our newest granddaughter. ...

My son, Cash (yes, his name is Cash), had been wanting to earn more money to purchase the essentials of a 9-year-old: candy, video game bucks, and Pokémon cards. But I knew if I continued to give my hardworking son odd jobs around the house, I would soon be bankrupt. Fortunately, a divine opportunity appeared. One of our wonderful neighbors asked Cash to mow the lawn. (He...

Many successful businessmen reach the peak of their church service when they assume the vaunted role of usher. This is not the men’s fault, of course — it is a tradition stretching back more than 2,000 years to when a little-known apostle named Fred served as the usher for the Last Supper, then slipped out before communion....
This week we came close to breaking our record for number of families served during the pandemic. We stayed open longer than usual to accommodate the crowds––204 families came to us for help.
