    We Went Back to The Hollywood, Just What the What

    This week we talk a little more about the movie and music industry, and just how nasty is it really?  We just don't think we will ever really know.  Will we ever really know who is responsible for all these deaths?  Probably not, but we can talk about it anyway...  We hope you dig with us this week and until next time, Check Ya Later.

    Missing in Missouri, A Look at SR's and SK's

    Missing in Missouri, A Look at SR's and SK's

    This week we dive into the statistics on those missing in Missouri and unsolved murders in Missouri.  We also talk about a handful of those cases as well as one out of Kansas.  There is just too much of this going on, and hopefully you will dig in with us and bring some awareness to this issue that we face not only in Missouri but all across this country.  We would also like to bring attention to the you-tube channel Adventures with Purpose, they have dedicated their time on a volunteer basis to help families find lost loved ones if thought to have come up missing in waterways.  They are funded strictly through donations and subscribes through you-tube.  They are not the only group doing this, but they play a huge role in driving this cause, so check them out and share to help keep this group and others like them going. By the way SRs are Serial Rapists and SKs are Serial Killers, and a little look at profiling cases and how law enforcement looks at these crimes.    We hope you have a great week and until next time, Check Ya Later.

    Kat Von D : Look Past the Surface, Find the Story

    Kat Von D :  Look Past the Surface, Find the Story

    This week we discuss the importance of Christians looking past the surface of an individual and seeing people like God wants us to.  Specifically we talk about Kat Von D.  and her acceptance of Christ and being baptized.
