Routine quote from Mason CurreyWe all have routines in our lives, and they are a great way to be efficient... and even to complete the most mundane of tasks.

For example, I have an evening routine (apologies for being boring) but:

  1. I put my apartment key in the drawer by the door. I then always know where it is, rather than searching pockets.
  2. I empty all of my pockets into one place in my drawer. This way I know that when I am heading out of the door the next day I am not going to forget something.
  3. I then take yesterday's

He has been within ear-shot of many a discussion in the Oval Office, but up until this administration has stayed out of the lime light.

John 15:1-2 states "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. Pruning forms an integral part of righteousness in Christianity. Many Christians yearn for a life of complete holiness but do not desire the pruning and conditions which come with a life of righteousness; having become embroiled in a kind of perceived self-rig

Nadia Bolz-Weber bounds into the University United Methodist Church sanctuary like a superhero from Planet Alternative Christian. Her 6-foot-1 frame is plastered with tattoos, her arms are sculpted by competitive weightlifting and, to show it all off, this pastor is wearing a tight tank top and jeans.



Looking out at the hundreds of people crowded into the pews to hear her present the gospel of Jesus Christ, she sees: Dockers and blazers. Sensible shoes. Grandmothers and soccer moms. Nary a fa

Homosexual activism in America may have started as a movement for toleration. In recent years, however, it seems to have developed into an intolerant campaign to force complete acceptance of a lifestyle many regard as immoral behavior. 



Most historians trace the homosexual rights movement's beginnings to what is known as the Stonewall Riots that began June 28, 1969, in New York City.
According to the History Channel website, "Just after 3 a.m., a police raid of the Stonewall I

IMAG0097.jpgMy wife and I are raising six of my nieces in our home, and the one thing we've made clear to them is that we aren't their friends or buddies. As long as they are under our care and guidance, we are parents, they are the children, and our rules are the only ones that matter.
This isn't hard for me at all because it is the same way I was raised by my parents. It's not about being hard and controlling, but establishing the clear boundaries: We're grown, and will act accordingly.
That's why the a
