OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
FAITH COMMENTARY: Weakness
How can weakness be a strength? Every day we talk about what we are going to do.
COMMENTARY: Honesty is the best media policy.

COMMENTARY: Child grooming through entertainment
I wrote a commentary opposing an adult event at the Cherokee Fair. The actual message of this commentary was lost or misunderstood by some people on Facebook, so I intend to clarify it.
