NIAGARA, Wis. — I recently read a book titled “The Passengers,” written by John Marrs. It told the story of several individuals who found themselves captives within their driverless cars. They had no control over where they were being taken, but each had been told by a faceless voice that upon reaching their destination, they would all crash and die. However, one would be spared, and the public watching this adventure unfold over the internet would vote on who should be saved. As you can imagine, the internet went crazy as people from around the country gave their opinions. We, as ...
NIAGARA, Wis. — The journey to self-discovery — and further, to self-acceptance and appreciation — takes a lifetime. We begin this journey before we even realize it and, certainly, before we appreciate how important a journey it is.

Not only is it guaranteed to make us all into dog lovers, but we are also reminded of an important life lesson. First, a little background. The movie is based ...

IRON MOUNTAIN — We are extremely fortunate in America where most of us were born into this democracy. As citizens of a democracy, we have a set of inalienable rights guaranteed to us by our Constitution. Our founding forefathers imagined this form of government and willed it into existence where it has stood as a model to the world for nearly 250 years. We learned about the formation of our country and its form of government in school, and have enjoyed various movies about our founding fathers over the years. But, do we truly appreciate how blessed we are to be living under this form ...
