The goal of this week’s column is twofold. One, to convince preachers to preach something more than fuzzy-wuzzy, “God loves you sermons.” Two, to prevail upon people to attend churches that preach the truth and stomps on your toes from time to time. The Bible speaks of a time when congregations will…

A week after earning district gold, Arana did one better at states, clearing 6-4 on his first attempt to earn the PIAA 3A high jump title.
