Got a light?
I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face. My husband was standing mere inches from me, but there wasn’t even a hint of his handsome blue eyes in the darkness. We were in Hannibal, MO – or more accurately – under it. Inside Mark Twain Cave, we were exploring the caverns made legendaryContinue reading “Got a light?”

WE NEED BETTER WEAPONS
The battle is fierce. The strongholds, formidable. Daily, we face terror from without…and within. We walk into this battle with self-control, resolve, desire, strategy, innovation.
