Children know more than you think, and at 5-years-old, I obtained extraordinary knowledge. One of my father’s early commitments as a parent involved teaching Christian principles to his kids.

If my house was on fire, I know exactly what I would save.

Opinion: Commuter parking

When commuter students arrived for the Fall 2018 semester, the concept of guaranteed parking spots became a distant memory.

Opinion: #MeToo scandal

Early in 2018, #MeToo came for the Southern Baptist Convention.  And before the rest of us think we’re exempt from the judgment at hand, we must realize that #MeToo has also come for us.
