Nonetheless, I believe we can agree that America needs leaders who are honest and who demonstrate the nature and character of God. We a...

Because time and again, when all hell is breaking loose, when all hope seems gone,I sense a voice in my soul. Peace be with you, it whispers. Peace… be still. Peace.

Two short years later, while the family sailed across the Atlantic Ocean on the...
