Today is Mother’s Day, and it is a day set aside to celebrate Mothers all over the world. With almost all holidays, some people don’t want to celebrate this day and dread seeing it come around each year. It is a day filled with pain, anger, and grief for those who feel this way. My…
How many of you grew up in the church singing, Trust and Obey? This song, along with Amazing Grace, is one of the songs our small church always sang. I was listening to a sermon today that talked about obeying the Lord, and this song popped into my mind. The chorus of the song is:…
Math is not my strongest subject! Don’t get me wrong; I always made A’s in school, but that was because I was smart enough not to take Geometry and Trigonometry. I stopped with Algebra, which was enough to fry my little brain. But I do know some hard math rules, such as 1 + 1…
