More than 12,000 children and teenagers are diagnosed with cancer every year. On Wednesday, Feb. 29, about 45 Bluffton University baseball players and coaches are going bald to show they care.

It has been said that going to church is good for the soul. In his new book, Dr. Gerald Mast asserts that the benefits extend much further.
