I know that you can hardly wait... First of all, I think I want to change my name to Pippa. I've always hated my name, and I think Pippa could be fun. And good grief, no, I didn't wake up early to watch the whole thing though I did get up in time to watch them walk back up the aisle after signing the register. My first thought was, "Prince William is bald." Though not as unattractive as his father, he's not quite the picture of the fairy tale handsome prince, in my opinion. Prince Charming had more hair. While I normally hate PDAs, or at least really blatant ones make me ill, the bride and groom barely touched one another. Even afterwards, such as the carriage ride back to the palace. They didn't even sit close to each other. It just seemed odd to me. I saw a recap today and the final song - "God Save the Queen." Everyone was singing. Everyone except the queen. My questions are, A) Is that weird for her? B) Is she not supposed to sing the na...

The Government Can Change an Identity, but It Cannot Change a Life Suspense author Randy Singer brings awareness to the plight of Dalits in India What is our responsibility for obtaining justice for those in need? Does the end always justify the means? Randy Singer examines these questions while taking his readers through twists and turns on a powerful journey in his novel False Witness .

John Busacker encourages readers to trade in their overcommitted and underwhelming lives for the pursuit of something vital and lasting Ever been lost in a car on the way to an important event? If so, then you know that people are the only animals that speed up when they’re lost or confused. It’s only as a last resort that we’ll finally hit the brakes, put the car in park, and set about the humbling task of asking for directions. The sad truth is that many of us live our lives the same way: lost, directionless, and never slowing down enough to find the real answers we need. Unfortunately, slowing down and doing less are foreign solutions for today’s problems. Envision a student notifying her parents that her goal is to slow down because she’s stressed out in school. Picture a husband suggesting that he wants to do less in his marriage. The very concept of doing less seems like sheer laziness, but it can actually be a very productive strategy for living. For readers who are finally ...
