    In a little while we will participate in the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. Holy Communion. The Eucharist. On one level, this meal might seem like a reminder of some of the snacks we’ve had elsewhere -- like the cookie and juice we were given by our first grade teacher and like the bag of ...read more

Tattoo didn’t intend to go for an evening run, but when his owner shut his leash in the car door and took off for a drive, Tattoo had no choice. A motorcycle officer named Terry Filbert noticed a ...read more
