I have heard, many times and from many people, that everyone deserves to be loved. I’m quite sure I’ve even said it myself. So, with great care, I want to ask a question that I think some are afraid to ask: “Why does anyone deserve to be loved?”

Just One Thing To Do This Week: Tea Up
By MARY BETH MAASSEN
Los Alamos

When I pull up to pay for my order, the remarkably cheerful and smiling young man at the window tells me the person four cars ahead of me has paid for the drinks Read More
