By Beth A It’s true I’m a peace forfeiter. It’s hard to admit but it’s true. Not only that, but every day I try to shoulder the weight of all my cares, I stumble upon my own arrogance as I try to tackle each day on my own. Instead of asking the Creator of the Universe for advice I ask …
Farewell Post: Liz

GAPnotes: Totally Like Whatever
By Viktor Oh politics. I’m so looking forward to this political season being over on Nov. 6. Don’t get me wrong, I love following politics, but the first primary debate was way back on May 5, 2011 (really), so I’m ready for this round to be over.
