Cast your bread on the water, make ripples

Cast your bread on the water, make ripples

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!” 07/31/2024 09:02 AM

This past weekend we saw yet another day of one of those things that we say “this kind of stuff doesn’t happen here.” Yet another violent crime, another senseless act, more gunshots, left a young man dead on a New Boston street and yet another family to mourn the loss of one of their own…a young man that had not even gotten out of his teens before his life was taken. 07/10/2024 09:02 AM

I woke up a little late this morning, jumped out of bed, hit the shower real quick and ran out the door with a short pat on the head for my dog and a peck on the lips for my wife. It’s summer, so the kids were still asleep and I didn’t have time to wake them. 07/03/2024 09:02 AM
