The Freedom to Choose

Are you completely free to make a choice? If you would have asked me that question a few years ago, even a year ago, I would have said yes in a heartbeat. I was not in a situation where I would have had to deal with negative consequences because I made a certain choice – […]

Underneath the surface

The school shooting last week in Florida had me sit and look deeper. I get the call to limit access to guns, especially semi-automatic guns.
