Feedback I got from the YW in the high school seminary today: Answer to prayer Cannot wait to turn in my papers Miracle! Was wondering what to do with my gap year It wasn’t just a few. And they weren’t feeling pressured into it. These are real high school senior girls, many…

On Sunday morning we were already running late for church when I walked upstairs and saw a thick yellow puddle outside my son’s door. If you’ve got young kids, you know that nothing good ever comes in that color. I looked at him and asked, “What is this?” He stared at the floor…

The government forces you to pay for the “food” that’s giving everyone Type II diabetes, and then the government forces you to pay for the healthcare of everyone who got Type II diabetes from the “food” you were forced to buy.

BANNON: SNAP isn’t about feeding the poor. It’s corporate welfare for Frito-Lay, Pepsi, and Walmart. The loudest voices defending food stamps aren’t hungry families; they’re the biggest lobbyists in DC.

Last night at the dinner table I took stock; clearly, joy was lacking. The toddler was whining, the 6-year old was cranky, the older 2 were worn out, and all of it was visible on my sweet wife's face. It occurred to me that these forlorn faces were a reflection of me. I was…

Joy should be the default setting for your home. Be the thermostat.

Follow along… You work hard. Government taxes your paycheck. Government uses the taxes to give SNAP to those not working. They buy junk food with SNAP. They are unhealthy from the junk food. They have health problems. You pay for their health care. Repeat again. Simple.
