Pride and Peace
In the novel and movie, Pride and Prejudice, we see the title portrayed by the attitudes of two characters, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. Both are very prideful and prejudice toward the other judging their upbringing and character as they clash personalities. But as all...
Is It Time To Move On?
Congratulations to Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos! All who know me, know that I am a HUGE Peyton Manning fan. I have cheered for him his whole career starting with the Indianapolis Colts and then moving to the Denver Broncos. I am a Colts fan first, but I am...
