The Bible's opening book of Genesis shares the story of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - men whose journeys would help define the foundations of faith - but also men who were deeply flawed and in need of God's grace.

When you live and work just north of Buffalo, it's not always easy connecting with Hollywood talent.
Most press junkets are held in larger cities - a New York, Los Angeles or Chicago, for example - and the vast majority of on-screen productions are staged in places like Atlanta, Manhattan and Vancouver. Interviews, then, are almost always by phone or via Zoom. That was until 2025 - the year Christmas came to town. And by Christmas, I, of course, mean the Hallmark Channel.
