The first quarter of the 2019 NFL season is complete, and the Los Angeles Chargers look like a team that can use some help. The Chargers are 2-2 after a 30-10 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in Miami. The short-handed Chargers were able to easily defeat the hapless Dolphins with a group of backups but that will not hold up throughout the season. The 0-4 Dolphins are arguably the worst team in the NFL. The Chargers were without Hunter Henry and Virgil Green, their top two tight ends, due...

Vonda Joan Beaird was born March 18, 1938, in Los Angeles, California to Wayne and Katherine (Kay). She was a raven-haired beauty from the start.

After surviving a near-fatal automobile accident that should have taken her from us long ago, Joni was reared in a Christian home and served the Lord from a young age, giving her testimony to those who would hear...

During my junior year of high school, I took AP Environmental Science and it changed my view on the amount of responsibility I have toward the condition of our planet. One thing my teacher always mentioned, is that for the AP Exam, on the FRQ, Free Response Question, if you can’t think of an answer, you can always write that “we can educate.” For example, if the question asks “How can we reduce the amount of smog in our metropolitan cities?” and a student can’t think of an answer, the best wa...
