Worthy to Print Column | Never Give Up

How about that Super Bowl! Did you get to watch it?Ā I can’t remember the last one that I have watched, but this one was really a good show. Lorraine and I enjoyed ourselves just hoping the best team would win. You know what? The...

Worthy to Print Column | Patience Is a Virtue

What is patience? In my handy College Funk and Wagnalls Dictionary, patience is described as ā€œThe act of waiting calmly for someone or something.ā€ Now that we know what it is, can anyone tell me if you have patience? I used to have a...
