Passing Friendship
Yesterday I attended the funeral of a dear friend. She was a lady with a big heart, and an enthusiasm leaps and bounds greater than anyone who happened to be in a room with her. As a testament to her infectious personality, the church was filled beyond capacity to standing room only – quite a…

The Incredible Jurassic World
Two of the summer’s hottest films are Pixar’s The Incredibles 2 and Universal’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Both serve up thrills, chills, laughs and excitement.
