What? No basketball. Can’t be. My Jayhawks would have surely gone all the way but now I’ll never know. If you’re like me, you may be wondering what you’re going to do with yourself these next few weeks. I was praying with a few of my friends from my church the other day, and it seemed to dawn on us all at once this…

I remember when World’s of Fun amusement park first opened in Kansas City almost 60 years ago. The first day they opened, they had five – count ’em F-I-V-E – roller coasters.
