    A little while ago, I found a story that has been one of my favorites for quite some time. I decided to pass this story along. It is a beautiful little story that shows us the value of life and the depth of a mother’s love for her children. It was a typical hectic wet…

  • Things People Will Never Learn in School

    I came across a short article about Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates, when he spoke to a high school not too long ago.
