THANK YOU to everyone who came out to KCBI's Faith Hope Love Celebration at St. Andrew Methodist Church in Plano. We had an amazing time and God's goodness was on display all over the place.

He quickly spotted their weapons, remained calm but still took decisive action...

I was coming into work yesterday when I saw something really bizarre in the parking garage. A man flew by me headed in the wrong direction and it didn't look like he cared to change his course. He was met with some shocked looks, a few horn beeps to try and catch his attention. No luck.
