After a promising Top 10 results show featuring statistics and a detailed breakdown of the votes, that promise was revoked this week and Nigel withheld the details of which contestants landed in the Top 3. I’m guessing because it wasn’t the three he was hoping for, so he led us to believe that everything was […]

Idol Top 9 Performances – Beatle Juice, Beatle Juice, Beatle Juice
I’m going to open with this disclaimer: I don’t have any strong feelings about the Beatles. What I mean is, I don’t worship them as God’s gift to music, like some people, but I don’t hate them either. I recognize that they knew how to write a good song with solid lyrics and a great […]
Idol Top 10 Results – Please Stop Believing

That being said, […]

Appreciation For ASL
When I hear the word deaf, my mind immediately goes to Helen Keller. The blind and deaf young woman who defeated all odds and became a well-rounded, educated young woman. She was the prime example of persevering, despite obstacles life throws your way. A ground-breaking television drama premiered on ABC that highlights the deaf culture […]
“Christmas with Holly”: A Movie Reminds Us of What Truly Matters
As we wind down the holidays, there is a mix of sadness and hope in the air. We are filled with the sweet memories of the holidays with family and friends. There is also a bit of depression mixed in as we pack up the ornaments and eat the last bit of the leftovers. We ring in […]
