Hope in Difficult Times

Nathan O. Hatch

President, Wake Forest University



A new book caught my eye recently, titled "The Man who Invented Christmas."

stephanie Common Ground Dove - Opening Day

To my dearly beloved and curious friends,



Have you ever wondered...

major turning points in their lives?



Social Networking... and Truly Connecting

I love Facebook (and before that, Friendster), but I felt like
