Do you think that there will ever come a time in the United States, where people who are part of the workforce no longer travel to a brick and mortar location to do their jobs? In some circumstances, this would undoubtedly be impossible, such as construction workers who must go to a job site to …
As Tim McGraw so beautifully sings in his country music hit song: Always be humble and kind. These are “words to live by,” you might say. God created each human being with a unique personality.

This past week, our country was pummeled by yet another senseless and horrific tragedy. In a Texas elementary school, 19 precious children and two adults were shot and killed.
