    GEORGIA|Mar 27, 2024

    Georgia, I have a question, My friend posted an older kayak in decent shape but dirty and needing a facelift for free on Facebook Marketplace a few weeks ago.

  • CONNECTING POINT: Hunger Pangs

    BILL LANES|Mar 27, 2024

    Have you ever had to deal with true hunger pangs? Honestly, in my lifetime, the answer is a firm “no.” Of course, there have been moments, especially in my teen years, where I used a possible exaggerated expression like “Mom, I’m starving, and if I don’t get some food now, I will die!” Fast forward to today, I’ve tried something similar with my wife, lol! Every few nights of the week, I find myself bored, looking aimlessly into the fridge or the empty cookie jar. Within this audience, I estimate that very few of us deal with starvation or...
