Yang: *$
By ELENA YANG *$
I like to think that if I were a public figure, I would recognize myself as being target-rich, and for my own protection I would develop a higher sense of self-awareness so that I wouldn’t trip on my own hubris.
However, target-rich people and organizations … well, just keep providing new targets. This is how I should have replied when friends asked about my thoughts of the recent brouhaha surrounding Starbucks’ “#RaceTogether” campaign.
At the time, I just shrugged it off, but afterwards, I thought more about it, and my delayed reaction was the above Read More

When we turned into the yard where we were to choose Shawne’s birthday present, we found to our horror that many chickens were running around loose, with no insulated, bomb-sturdy Hen House to shelter them.
Shawne took great delight in picking out three hens to take home. Nanny was a little hen with dark red feathers. She was easy to catch. What amazed me most, Read More
Pastor Granillo: Embracing The Big Picture
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOI can relate to poor ol’ Peter in the Bible. He means well but has a tendency of putting his foot in his mouth at all the wrong times. I think I relate to him because I see so many of us “regular folk” in his methods and in his heart.

(Mark 8:31-32).
Can you imagine hearing God say one thing and then you pull Him to the Read More
