Ty Warner apparently was crazy. He started the company and created beanie babies. But, he also created a company that lied …
Book Update: I started reading “Killing Jesus” by Bill O’Reilly (and some other guy). Though only several chapters in, I am enjoying the book. It is a lot of history that surrounds Jesus’ life that I wasn’t taught or simply forgotten about. The writing is fluid and information easy to process. When living in today’s …
