Colgate University Alumna Recognized
/ Autumn McKenzie JacksonThe irony is not lost on me.

I am certain I did not understand the full significance of what he wrote then nor do I now, but I knew enough to hold onto his letters.
I tend not to be awestruck, but my older brother, Darrell, is an exception. He is my superhero.
If you have never made a declaration of faith and you want to make that commitment, here is how.
This is my nephew Joshua. He is the boy in my Joyful Crew!
