We are in the holiday season now and people are spending 100’s if not 1000’s of dollars on each person in their family. I think this is absolutely ludicrous. There really is no reason to go into debt for Christmas or any other holiday. Honestly, it is not about the gifts, but about the love […]

Faith
I have been reading a devotional entitled “Fate vs Faith”. it is an interesting read. The author says that faith is a gift from God. If that were true, then hasn’t our salvation already been determined or in other words some are predestined to be saved and others are not. However, that would contradict the […]

Parents
It is the responsibility of parents to raise their kids to be God fearing people. Parents are supposed to be the ones to that teach their kids boundaries so the kids can grow up to be responsible adults. I know it is hard to believe, but parents do know right from wrong. However, somewhere over […]
Retail Deception
I told my daughter that I use to love this time of year. It was when the family got together to celebrate something special. The weather got colder and it felt like Christmas, but anymore it does not. It just seemed like things were so much simpler back in the 60’s and 70’s. Maybe they […]
