Making Room for God
It’s that time of year again, when we get rid of things that keep us from God. Things that get in the way of our relationship with him. It’s Lent, and I’m ready. GULP! Ready to make a commitment to giving up something so I can get something better. I’m ready for my flesh to…
Freedom of Choice Act
I’m all for supporting our President through prayer and not bad mouthing him when I don’t agree with his policies. But I can’t support his stand on the Freedom of Choice Act.

The Santa Question?
Over the years I agonized with the Santa issue. Should we pretend or not? I know I was devastated at 6 when I found out Santa wasn’t real. I cried and cried and cried. I remember it well. Plus, I wanted Christmas to focus on Jesus not Santa, so when my kids were little we…

My kids are probably like your kids. They jumped on board the Guitar Hero craze. Though we don’t have one, they played it over friends and relatives homes. I’ve got to admit, I had fun playing as well, but some of the songs, okay most of the songs…well, they were songs I’d rather my kids…
