We Know Jack: The Case Against Assisted Suicide, #1

How Hollywood’s poster boy is endangering your life and the lives of your loved ones. I wasn’t feeling well, yet persevered through Wal-Mart to buy five goldfish for my dad for Father’s Day.

Last night I spoke with a woman who is in deep despair.

I don’t understand…” If we are completely honest, we might admit there is a circumstance in our lives causing us to ask the same question. It may be a minor... read more
