The 1969 film True Grit introduced audiences to a rugged story of determination, resilience, and courage.

At this stage, many professionals find themselves facing unexpected transitions, shifting industries, changing technology, financial pressure, family responsibilities, health c…

They ran out of seating in the Fellowship Hall after worship service, so I grabbed a piece of cake and found a spot for my drink on the windowsill. A couple came and joined me and after some small talk the conversation turned toward, of all things, knee replacement surgery.
