Thanks,

My sweetheart tried to persuade me to make a personal commitment to Jesus as Lord and Savior. I resisted his efforts. I believed in God; I prayed. His attitude offended me. We started attending church; and I even tried to read the Bible. Talking on the phone one Saturday night, Norm said, “I’ll pick...

Thanks for clearing that up for me Jan.

Spring Break Axe Murderer might be gross, but big deal. It’s not real!” “I don’t care. I said you aren’t going.” “Why, why won’t...

Surely things could not have changed that much since I grew up in the 1980’s. Keeping peace with her is not easy. She is no...

Like most young girls, Jocelyn felt like her mother must be clueless to her generation. In a heated disagreement about her choice of a night time movie, she defiantly stood her ground. “How can you be so mean to me? All the other parents are letting their kids go!
