It’s the End of the World as We Know It
Over the past few years of living in the DC Metro area, I’ve seen some strange things. However, this morning may top the list. While on my way to work on Jefferson Davis Highway in Crystal City, I passed a caravan of these trucks, which were all wrapped with the same type of design declaring [...]
Read MoreMiracles Still Happen
Sometimes it seems that we live in bleak world with constant turmoil in Congress, mud-slinging politics and growing unrest in the Middle East.
