I Don’t Really Hate My Job
Yesterday was Monday – and therefore not the best day for going to work. It was especially not the best day for going to work for someone like me. It is not a big secret that the job I am going to these days is not my dream. Yes, it has been my career for…

As I look to Holy Week…
At the beginning of one of my classes this semester, we were asked to write a statement describing our own theological foundation.
