King David is a popular figure of Biblical history, isn’t he? It’s impossible to think of him without also thinking about one of the many stories that share a snippet of his life. Both adults and kids know at least a handful of adventures he had from his anointment to …
Another graduation season is here. Whether it’s college graduation, high school graduation, or just an event celebrating moving from fourth grade to fifth grade, it’s the time of year where kids typically end one chapter and start another. That’s how I saw my college graduation two years ago. What I …
Music is one of the most popular forms of art in the history of the world. It can be sad, peaceful, or romantic. It can be fun, mysterious, or suave. It can be creepy, exciting, or intense. Whether you make music or listen to it, you can connect with it …
