Married – to God, that’s what we are talking about today.  This post is probably not going to be the most popular – oh well.  I know our country is in flux about what Marriage is and what it is not.  And what is legal – or not.  Like a Pastor told me once, “Just … Read more

We are Pioneers

Yes, we are pioneers. Remember Little House on the Prairie? Or what about Gunsmoke or Bonanaza? I may be dating myself here.

There is Healing in Your Touch

Touch. One of the five senses right? Yet it is so much more. I have heard it said that a new born baby will die without being touched. And countless elderly people shrivel without touch. How many of our young people turn to sex just to be touched? How many people visit the ER just … Read more
