It's my job to listen

Friends, This doesn’t happen often, but it just happened, so I’ll tell you about it. I knocked on a door and a middle-aged man answered. I gave my short intro. He invited me inside. This is rare, but I usually say yes. I sensed this guy was a little tense, but I stepped inside. He asked …

The rollback of reproductive rights in NC has begun

The Epic of Biscuit

Friends, I’m knocking 1,000 doors this summer. Here’s what happened at door 588. I knock. A woman opens the door. Before she can speak, a small fluffy white dog bolts outside. He bounds across the lawn and disappears across the street. She cries out, “Biscuit! No!” She runs back in…

The moment my life changed
