I’ll admit it, I’ve always been a little nostalgic. So, you can imagine what it was like to go back for my 40th High School Reunion this past weekend in Corinth, Mississippi. There were so many faces – people I have known through the years and people I haven’t seen since we threw our caps […]

The Big Rocks First – by Mike Harland
Nearly all of us have seen or heard a demonstration that goes like this: the leader places a big jar on the table and next to it are several big rocks, a few smaller stones, some small pebbles, and sand. Then, the question is asked, “Do you think all of this can fit into the jar?”
