The War Is Over! Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Feb 23, 2009

We are in a war. We don’t see many signs of the war, at least not that we equate with this war. It’s one we can’t win but have committed to anyway, or at least have been committed to by others. We started it but cannot end it. It could be called “The War of Independence.” It’s not independence from ...read more

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Nov 19, 2008

Trials and Tribulations should build our character not our list of complaints!
