It was quite inspirational and a little bit liberating to write about all of the scary thoughts I had about living next door to someone who behaved...

Body of Georgia Girl Found in Dumpster
I remember a conversation I heard between two women several years ago as they watched a news story about a murder that occurred the day before and had the entire community stunned.

And the response from her friend was, "If I ever get to the point that I can understand, then I'll be really worried."
I think about that exchange often, particularly when I read about yet another gruesome crime...

Guest Post by Author Jason McKinney — The Animals that Inspire Us

We've even played host to a field mouse once and my wife has played mother to more animals than she could count far before she was a mother to our human children. Oh yes, we love animals and every single one we currently have has been a rescue in many senses of the word and action.
The animals we call our children have done many...
