Every New Year’s I set myself up for failure. I’m going to lose 30 pounds this year! I’m going to wake up early and go for walks every morning! I’m going to cut sugar, wheat, milk, and all things fattening out of my diet. Yeah...right. However, this year feels a bit different. My best friend Stevie, when we were making New Year’s plans, stressed me out when she said she wanted her NYE to be “intentional.” What does that mean? But it turned out to be an evening of girl talk, Love Island Games, and creating 2024 vision boards. We ended the eve...

For Jacob and Brittany Trodick, their calling brought them to God and the church and, more recently, to Whitehall. The Trodicks, along with children, moved to Whitehall earlier this year, taking on the youth director position for ages 5-11 at the Whitehall Assembly of God Church, pastored by Bill Lanes. Jacob and Brittany, who knew (and...

Being the newbie at work, he had to work both Christmas Eve day and Christmas Day. I texted him mid-day Christmas Eve when he got off work, asking whether he thought he could make it over. for Christmas Eve tradit...
