“You’re going to enjoy it!” a voice called out as I walked into a local restaurant for lunch. I turned expecting to see an employee, the owner perhaps, but this unsolicited review came from another diner, doggie-bag in hand, getting up to leave. “So, what do you recommend?” I asked. He recommended something I’d never order. “Thanks!” I replied. I did not know that this brief exchange had breached some social-etiquette firewall; this stranger walked over to my booth and sat down. “I hope you don’t mind,” he said. “It’s fine,” I replied neutrally. He began to pour out his life’s story.
For the Christian looking for an inspiring “come to Jesus” movie, “Loud Krazy Love” will fall short of expectations. While KORN guitarist Brian “Head” Welch’s coming to faith in Christ is credited as the source of his changed life, the focus of the movie is decidedly on the catalyst for that change: the birth of Welch’s daughter, Jennea. The movie is as advertised: “The remarkable true story of KORN’s Brian ‘Head’ Welch and the little girl that saved his life.”

My husband and I have owned property on Navarre Beach for several years, we rent our condo to tourist during a part of the season. We are very careful to explain to our guest dogs are not allowed on Navarre Beach. However, while in Navarre for several weeks over the holidays, we saw at least five dogs and owners walking on the beach every day. Other owners in our complex have discussed the increase, this year especially, and we are posting signs in our building’s common areas and beach walk over. I’ve seen signs at most of the public walk over areas.
