Naturally, this creates an association with something unpleasant. Just imagine someone spitting directly or indirectly on our

I was eleven years old in 1968 when a transistor radio broke my heart for the first time. Not the last. Not by a long shot.

And I lay there listening to my heroes: Dan Issel. Mike Pratt. Phil Argento. The great and terrible Adolph Rupp. The entire Big Blue machi

WORDS FROM FATHER YOHANES: God Meets Us at the Well
By Father Yohanes Akoit One of the deepest longings we have as believers in Christ is to encounter Jesus, our Savior. We believe that such an encounter helps us grow as true disciples. This is why, every time we pray, we ask the Lord to help us and protect our lives.
