Leftists shouldn’t have to hear about my conservative religion. It’s mine, not yours. It is strictly for my benefit and not yours. We live in America, where, thanks be to our forefathers, we have freedom of religion. We also have separation of church and state, so my religion, and anyone else’s for that matter, can’t … Read More
Fact- I Can’t Be A Man
I just ran across this quote by an unknown author- “Our generation is so busy trying to prove that women can do everything men can do, women are losing the unique qualities that set us apart.

A Year In Humility
Humility isn’t a word I’ve ever used. For the past three years I chose a word in December that would be a theme for the upcoming year. Each time God stepped in and changed my chosen word almost as soon as I picked it. My first word was abundance, and God chose reverence. The second … Read More

God Is Not The Universe
As many begin to embrace manifestation, energy healing, mindset work and other concepts of spirituality, these newfound techniques awaken a thirst for knowledge.
