Paralysis of Injustice

I have never run a marathon and I do not intend to add this item to my bucket list.  However, annually, in our city of #Cincinnati, thousands of people gather in support of “The Flying Pig Marathon.”  Why it’s called the Flying Pig, I do not know; however, I do know that marathon runners canContinue reading “Paralysis of Injustice”

Prayer Isn’t a Placebo
