Quote: “For us to understand life better, I think we need to understand story better.” - Phil Lollar
Quote from Phil’s email: “It is important to know our history because it is part of the bigger story - the grand story of life. We need to see where our predecessors failed, but also where they succeeded. Most important of all, we need to see God's hand working through the history of our country, and the world.”
