Barber pastor doubles as West Side barber in Chicago
Rev. Lee H. Ivy, pastor of Free Will Missionary Baptist Church, runs Benevolence Barber Shop since 1979. He balances preaching with haircuts, guiding customers on personal issues and even performing marriages in the shop. Ivy views both roles as devoted service to mankind and often reaches people unguarded in the barber chair. He has grown church membership from 32 to 225 and serves about 229 congregants while mentoring locals on marital, religious, and financial matters.

Bridge hands and auction with no vulnerability
North holds A952 and Q1052 in spades and diamonds. East has J98 with Q104 and J10532 in clubs. South has QJ10532 in spades and AQ107542 in hearts. North deals and passes with East passing. South opens three and shows a balanced hand.
Suit is inevitable as six spades secures contract
Charles Goren outlines a bridge hand where a six spade contract depends on careful diamond play. The declarer wins the diamond lead, uses a ruff to discard clubs, and executes a finesse to secure seven trumps plus a ruff, heart, two diamonds and a club.
