When Being Different Isn’t Easy
Our kids live in a hard time. It is a time when everyone wants to be different – and yet, when we are different, for the right reasons, we are picked on. It isn’t easy for our kids to be Christians. That isn’t a bad thing – it shouldn’t be “easy.” However, it isn’t widely…

Fall Faith Covenants
Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the cooler weather, the beautiful fall colors and the start of a new school year. Even though I myself haven’t been in school for many, many years I still have an urge to go clothes shopping every fall because I have this sense of wanting a…
