My wife and I were blessed to be at the Oklahoma City Thunder game versus the Dallas Mavericks Thursday night, celebrating a great friend’s birthday, and it’s not even possible for me to put into words how electric the environment was when KD hit the game-winning shot on an inbound pass with just 1.4 seconds […]

There’s a light display in town that has quickly become one of the most-anticipated must-sees of the annual Christmas season.
