Pastoral priorities
Pastoral priorities
A pastor in Tennessee gives his wife a car worth more than $200,000 - says it's not church money, but his own; he invested wisely. He had a lot to invest, clearly. Where did he get his money first?

Why Europe is hot destination for South Korean investors
Why Europe is hot destination for South Korean investors
With worries about political instability, slowing growth and Brexit, at first glance Europe seems an unlikely destination for South Korean commercial property investors.

Power of emotive narrative
Geneva, as many know, is home to a vast array of international organizations including the headquarters of many agencies of the United Nations and financial institutions.

Why read novels
Why read novels
Why is it that folks write novels and more important, why do others read them? Nonfiction can be informative and educational. It could to lead to a better job and more money.

Moon landing: Failure was not option
For those of us of a certain age, we vividly remember where we were on July 20, 1969, the date of America's successful lunar landing. On a cool July southern Vermont evening my parents and I visited friends to watch what was expected to be a live transmission from the moon!
