Many of you may not know that my parents immigrated to the U.S. in the 1970’s. My mother was brought by my grandmother in her teens while my father escaped through joining the military. Both came from poverty and neither knew English very well when they came to the...

It is my favorite moment in the 1981 film Chariots of Fire. The American sprinter Jackson Sholz hands Eric Liddell, the UK runner, a handwritten note just before Liddell’s 400 meter race. The note begins, “It says in the Old Book…”. I encourage you to watch the scene...
