In Disney Pixar’s “Ratatouille,” Remy, the protagonist, espouses the thought that, “If you are what you eat, then I only want to eat the good stuff.” For a rodent like Remy, that could mean diverging in essentially any way from the norm of eating bricks and garbage like any other rat, making him an outcast from his family as a […]

Let me preface the following by asserting that I am not a conspiracy theorist. That being said, many conspiracy theories were running through my head Thursday Feb. 22 when, according to the Washington Post, “More than 1.7 million AT&T customers across the country reported problems with their cellphone service.” Headed to the second day of Southeastern Theological Seminary’s Center for […]
