With going on 22 years of marriage, I want to reminisce the past when I first met Mike.

What are you thankful for this year that you couldn’t say last year?

The author explains several reasons why he is a Christian.…

All weekend, we haven’t tried any of the local cuisine. Our friend Betty who…
Besides the obvious difference in the price of a gallon of gasoline, many things have changed since I started driving 30 years ago:
* we didn’t worry about mpg
* AC was an option
* only huge monster luxury cars had power windows
* there was no seatbelt laws
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
Is it ok for a Christian to celebrate Halloween?
