I really don’t like Wal-Mart but I cannot stop shopping there. I have really come to enjoy Meijers far more, but the bottom line keeps coming down to price. I guess I am to blame in part for the fall of Marsh. Home Depot is my favorite big hardware store. I did ejoy St. Matthews [...]

Through a recent post by Steve McCoy, a Southern Seminary friend, I recently found the blog of one of my SBTS Professors, Hershael York. He has linked a good article for thought on the issue of gambling. I can remember great debates in my business ethics classes at Cedarville on this issue. Many argued that [...]
