Always looking for insight into how people both think about and cope with tragedy, I asked a friend with a wonderful pastor what this minister has to say about bad things happening to good people. Without hesitation, my friend said that Pastor D believes that no matter what a person…
I am obsessed with this show! It’s on AMC on Monday nights at 10 p.m. here on the East Coast. The third season started a few weeks ago and seasons 1 and 2 are available on DVD and Netflix. If you love American history and a great period drama, this…
