Friendship is a funny thing. It can come and go, wax and wane, but it can also endure. Immediately, when I thought of friendship, the chorus of “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” by WAR popped into my head. Go ahead and sing it. You know you want to! I’m also certain that many of you…

My denomination doesn’t practice Lent, but I like to observe it each year because I feel like it helps refocus my attention on Christ during the Easter season. This year, I gave up social media. To put it frankly, IT WAS HARD. I knew I was “a bit addicted,” but giving it up for 40…
