Like most of you, I love America. My youngest memories of loving my country were developed when I was in elementary school in the early Fifties. Every other week, all the third, fourth and fifth grade classes met at the auditorium for music. It was one of my favorite things to do. We all sat quietly with our classmates and teachers. Every class had their reserved isle. The teacher always sat on the first seat and their class next to them. I remember a lot of order and respect at school and at home. After we were seated we were handed a song book. We waited quietly until a teacher sat at the piano and another one took the microphone, and lead us in song. We would stand to our feet and proudly sing various patriotic and old folk songs that have been sung for many generations.

There are as many excuses for not eating your fruits and vegetables as there are varieties to choose from. “They are too expensive.” “I don’t have the time.” “I don’t like the way they taste.” “They go bad too fast.” “My kids won’t eat them.” I could go on and on. My job is to provide tools and motivation to overcome these perceived obstacles. I hope to make eating your fruits and vegetables easy, fun, and an extra boost for your health.
The Passion of Christ

What is the passion of Christ? Many would say it is the period of intense suffering in the life of Jesus from the Garden of Gethsemane to the crucifixion. To others the passion of Christ evokes images of gruesome punishment depicted in movies such as Mel Gibson’s “The Passion.” Certainly these views are correct but I have discovered that there is much more than this to the passion of Christ.
Overcoming Compulsive Behaviors: A Blueprint to Victory
By Susannah Wollman
As I sit here today, my terrier is curled up as close as she can for warmth. Warmth is something we all crave: the warmth of a hug from a friend, in the smiling eyes of our beloved, of a tiny hand tucked up in our own. Let’s talk about that longing—the many and varied ways that we seek to obtain it, how it can become an all-consuming pastime, and how we can get stuck in the immense rut we’ve dug in our search for it.
Obedience Is Not an Option

If we do not learn to obey as a child, we will more than likely, grow up with a rebellious and disobedient spirit. Obedience does not come natural for most of us – it is a trained skill. It develops with time, discipline and correction.
