I have 2 kids, and believe it or not I once was a kid. I asked my son how old he thought I was the other day and he said 20. I thought that was pretty good, till I asked him how old he thought Grandma and Papa were. He said 22. Kids believe the most unbelievable things don’t they? When I was a kid there was a song by an R&B group called “Push It”. Great song. But when I was a kid and first exposed to this song, I believed they said, “Ah Smush it”.

Why a former Harvard Professor, Professes Christ

October 24, 2016

In July, I got the chance to go to a Ratio Christi Staff retreat in Tennessee. It was a great time to get to know some of the team. One of the people I met was Larry Baxter.
