Thursday’s food for thought: Let’s redefine how we view success. Success is not a number of likes you get or followers you gain or subscribers you have. It’s about obeying God and doing what you believe He told you to do. So reader, why do you post on social media? We need to evaluate […]

And the best part? Your pizza was free.
