Okay, our local Christian bookstore closed and promised to re-open in another town/city and today while perusing the Pennysaver there was an ad for their new store and they were having a sale on Resurrection Eggs – only $9.99.

Every week, I use my daughter’s Sunday School lesson (her teachers send a wonderful email update) as our basis for Bible for the upcoming week. It helps both of the kids memorize scripture [...] I was trying not to comment on this issue but now that Oprah has opened a second school, I feel that I must address the rules issue at her first – the Leadership Academy.

I haven’t written in some time but here is a poem in honor of the day. A Selfless Act Today the rains came On this day 4 years ago  |
