Avoiding Affluenza
Each fall we join the other throng of Knoxvillians, who come out and stand in line for a free flu shot. Why do we do this? It's not because it's fun or painless.

Love Is Blind, But Creditors Aren't

His, Hers and Ours
When God said in Genesis 2:24, "They shall become one flesh," He is not just talking about the physical sense. God created marriage as the highest, most honored, most intimate of all human relationships. As such, the husband-wife relationship takes precedence over all blood-kin ties. [1]
