OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
COMMENTARY: Let’s Talk
In second grade, in Mrs. Herbert’s class at Cherokee Elementary School, there was a day where I decided to write in detail everything that happened in class that day and report it to the class. I was a shy kid, but my classmates and teachers were very supportive and receptive of my report. I realized then that I liked reporting. I liked telling stories and sharing them with others, and others appreciated it as well.
Faith Commentary: Friends
Friends, isn’t it great when you know you have a faithful friend?
COMMENTARY: It isn’t as easy as it looks: The view from the backseat.
Like many of you, somewhere in my being is the urge to be a backseat driver. I say like many of you, because I know from your comments on posts that we come from the same place sometimes.
