Thanksgiving Is All in Your Head (or it should be)

By Dr. Scott Rodin | November 23, 2023 The Oxford Dictionary defines thanksgiving as, “the feeling of being happy or grateful because of something.”[1] With all due respect, I think the Oxford Dons got it wrong.

DO YOU HAVE A CALL TO ACTION?

By Dr. Marybeth Leavell | October 12, 2023 I was immediately intrigued by the title and focus of this book, A Call to Action. It is accurate in its assessment of the culture and challenging in its assessment of the need.
