It is said that all great stories derive from the Bible. I emphasize that it’s not all intentional, but just for fun, I couldn’t help pulling a few biblical inspirations from some our favorite Disney films. More to come later.

A Little Damaged
You may remember the event that took place on September 21, 2005. For the first time since 9/11 the nation stood still and almost every eye was on their TV set or ear on the radio.

Many dogs and cats are still sleeping on empty beds, many grandparents lost faith in thisContinue reading “Sandy Hook Massacre”
