Guilty! I Might Be Raising “Mom” Dependant Boys

I was listening to a program the other day on Bott Radio. I can’t remember who it was that I was listening to, but they were talking about marriages and how our husbands don’t want a “mom” for a wife. They went on to say that if men do enjoy having a “mom” [...]

Redemption, Even for Tiger Woods?

I was made aware of this great clip while checking out AFA’s web site. I thought it would be inspiring to all of us who call ourselves Christians; that we need to speak up about true redemption and forgiveness that can only come through Christ.

What We Do In Private Matters

Lately I have heard people say that they don’t care what other people do in their own homes, just as long as they don’t push their agenda on them. At first I didn’t think anything of it, then it started to bother me.

I have had many a break down and have gone through a good share of [...]

Parent Involvement Matters

I am truly concerned about my children’s education. And I don’t believe I am alone. Many families have decided to homeschool their children. I applaud them. I am not there yet, although I have been looking into all of the curriculum available. We just aren’t in a place to afford [...]

Gifts from God

Being a parent can be very discouraging and scary, but at the same time it can and should be rewarding and a blessing.
