  • The Ethics of Social Media

    There may be times when we are powerless to prevent in justice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. Elie Wiesel I can’t tell you why I opened this post with the Bemelman mural to illustrate ethics, or lack of. I could have chosen the Facebook post leading to this…

  • Living a Gracious Life

    We may be excused for not always being bright, but we are not excused for not being gracious, yielding and considerate. St. Francis de Sales I recently ran across a book titled, Gracious by Kelly Williams Brown.
