It seems just about every place I go lately, I hear about the subject of Halloween . . . Whether it be around church, bible study or on the message boards here on the 'net. Everyone seems to be concerned with whether or not they should celebrate Halloween. You hear and read about how it is an...

I took my coffee and went out to sit on the back deck this morning. It seemed like a crisp autumn morning and yet autumn hasn't officially arrived yet . . . I often wonder what makes us all look to a certain date for the change of seasons though . . . Seems to me that once the...

I took my coffee out on the deck this morning to enjoy the crisp autumn air. As I stepped out onto the deck I heard the distinct sound of leaves crinkling beneath my feet. Now this really shouldn't come as any surprise considering all the trees in the backyard that have lost their leaves...

I stopped by to see Grandma this morning on the way to work. She gets awful lonely sometimes now that Grandpa is gone, so I pop in on her every so often to sit and talk over a cup of coffee. It seems to lift her spirits a little and I know it always works wonders for me to see her. Anyway...

I was just wondering, when exactly was it that the News Forum was changed over to the Gay Rights Forum? Seems this forum has become a soap box for the Gay Rights Supporters to come to, to spew their talk of hatred and prejudice by Christains. I guess my real question is why have we given...

I got up Saturday morning and threw on my favorite pair of old jeans. . . Now, this old pair of jeans, my wife hates them. . . . . She would have tossed them out years ago if she thought I wouldn't raise Cain over it. You see they are pretty old and well worn. They are faded out to almost...
