Role Models...

Published Monday, April 12, 2010 by Mark McCaw
Why do we look to athletes and rappers as role models? Many of them are still making mistakes. How come we aren't looking to our family members, friends or teachers as role models? What about the scholars and the business men? Why do we have false perceptions about what's right for our future and to... [More]

Tell me your top... [More]

WORD TO YOUR FLAG!

Published Wednesday, March 03, 2010 by Mark McCaw

Nothing But Love...

Published Sunday, February 07, 2010 by Mark McCaw

As we celebrate the holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King and reflect on all that he has done for the civil rights movement, you would have to wonder...Could I have done that?
