Rebuilding costs could differ from what you paid for your home and be more than its current market value – what it would sell for today – especially in areas where the value of real estate has changed. A replacement estimate includes costs to rebuild your home Read More

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

If we do dare judge another, should it not be as MLK expressed—by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin … and we might add height, beauty Read More

He nodded, then looked up with a wistful, philosophical look that our guys don’t usually get until after the buttered toast. “Sometimes,” he said, “I think it’s pearls before swine, that’s all.”
We waited.
“Music, I mean. You know how you practice and practice and then you get good enough to actually do something? Well, Read More
