Mama Bear
When a man and woman marry, they become one flesh. Mark 10:5-10 New International Version (NIV) 5 “It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied. 6 “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ 7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and […]
Responsibility
I really hate it when people will not accept responsibility for their actions and want to blame others. Tonight on my way to the local lumber store, one person decided to pull out in front of me, but thought he could make it. The other vehicle behind him started to pull out and I blew […]

Moms
Yesterday, 14May2017, was Mother’s Day. Lets face it, mom’s are amazing. They love their kids unconditionally, they will protect their children at all costs, they encourage their kids, they do not mind letting them fail as long as they are there to help pick them up, and they say what they mean. Mom’s are awesome! […]
Friendship
Making and having true friends is not easy. Of course people will disagree and say yes it is, just look at my Facebook page, I have over 1000 friends. Do you really have that many friends or is the number of people you may know? A true friend will: Support you in anything you do, […]
