I notice during this giving season that many of my Jewish friends make financial donations in the amount of $36. Is there a significance in this number?

In local news this week, the Salvation Army will continue operating Spokane's largest homeless shelter on Trent Avenue potentially through April 2023.

About a year before we left, a friend asked if anyone was interested in walking the Camino Ingles in Spain. An 80-year-old relative of his had done it several times, he said.

Robert Zemekis’ "The Polar Express" is one of my favorite movies to watch during the Christmas season. Whether it’s religious or personal, this movie is about believing in something you cannot see or finding your way back to faith.

Santa Express began as a project of a group of women in the Junior League of Spokane who wanted to do something to support the Vanessa Behan crisis shelter. The organization was founded five years earlier in 1987 as a community response to the tragic death of a child at the hands of domestic abuse.
