Any regrets?
BY : JHAN TIAFAU HURST THINK a minute. In 1974, a retired U.S. soldier sent a note to the U.S. government that read: “I’m sending $10 for blankets I stole in World War II.

A Two-Way conversation
BY : JHAN TIAFAU HURST Think a minute…Do you sometimes wonder why you didn’t get what you prayed for? Does God really listen and answer our prayers?
