So, just to recap, my son Peter won the PIAA State Championship for Javelin in the AAA division back in May. Generally, track athletes peak at states, making it the highlight of their competitive year, if not their entire career. Occasionally, at the higher levels, athletes will choose to go on to compete at large
The goal of my writing today is to inspire you to access the powerful transforming grace God has made available to us through the Mission of God.

Since the previous pair covered super-long words (June 6) and then super-short ones (June 13), our next two lists bounce back to broader terms: a selection
Here I am in the car on an eight-and-a-half-hour road trip, writing my column. Time wasn’t on my side to get it done before we left, but when you have hours in the car, you might as well write. I do get car sick, but I just have to stop here and there and look
