I cannot believe that this will be my last monthly column for the Gwinnett Citizen! I have thoroughly enjoyed writing and reporting various stories throughout this past year. I have met and had the pleasure of working with so many awesome people in our local area.

What You Can Learn From a 12 Year Old Beauty Queen

My niece, Gracie, is an unstoppable force of a human being.  She has an amazing love for her family, a true dedication to her friends, a freakishly intelligent brain (we are still wondering how that happened), a natural outer beauty that needs no makeup, a faith in Jesus that is rock solid, and a confidence that is mind blowing. She is also taking on the beauty pageant scene with a passion that is teaching her that beauty isn’t just skin deep, but truly the heart of the person.

An interview with Aimee Copeland. One year ago, a father put a request for prayers for his daughter on Facebook. That simple request, made during a time of unimaginable stress, took off and brought prayers, blessings and concerns from all around the globe in a matter of hours.
