At this very moment, there is a critical need for prayer for the safety of our troops in Afghanistan. Whether or not you feel we should be there is not the issue. God is waiting for us to cry out to Him for HIS intervention. He knows what needs to happen and it needs to happen [...]

“God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever.” – Thomas Jefferson

Lately, (meaning the last few months), some disturbing questions have been developing within me. With increased frequency these questions are making their presence known. Like pregnancy – it’s as if I’m in labor – and answers are begging to be born. In no particular order, here are some of them:

My mother pretty much raised us eight kids by herself because Dad spent most of those years in and out of the hospital. That meant Mom was really busy.
Barely eye-level with the table, I observed her kneading bread and rolling out pie crust. I watched my mom can peaches, raspberries, and applesauce. I held my nose [...]

Give flowers to someone you love.
Including yourself!
Look for someone who would least expect them.
Then bless their day with posies.
Who couldn’t use a smile in the midst of these trying times?
And a reminder that God’s love endures forever!

But I wish it were possible because I love people and I love [...]

I’m just curious. Has anyone NOT heard of Susan Boyle yet? I understand it’s had around 16 million hits already, and I wish I could include a YouTube video of her here, but apparently those videos have had the embed disabled. Still…
