And I am not truly sure if the numbers are accurate or not, but Continue reading America’s Obituary I just saw the greatest video. You know our dogs love us unconditionally. They are patient with us, forgive us when we are unkind, wait for us to come home and most of all can make us happy when we are down. Hmmmm, sounds like God! As graduation ceremonies were under way, there was a stern warning that this class would NOT pray during the commencements, not by choice, but because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it however… Continue reading God Bless You!

This is the premise of its new program GCB (which stands for Good Christian B*****es). We need to fight back.

Yes, that is my church. The video is from the DOVE awards and church choirs from all over were asked to participate in the making of this video.

Personally, I think for such a young teen, she did a pretty darn good job. After all her parents spent a pretty penny for that video. But that is neither here nor there. My church, Calvary Church of Santa Ana, Continue reading Happy Easter April 22nd, 2011 | Category: Biblical, Holidays, Homeschooling: All Things, Personal Life | Leave a comment On Easter Sunday, most Christians celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Did you know that this is typically the most well-attended Sunday service of the year next to Christmas. Sorry to say, but that is sad. What happens the rest of the year to those Christians that do not attend? Notice I said Continue reading What is Easter?

October 27th, 2010 | Category: Articles, Biblical, Holidays, Homeschooling: All Things, In the News | Leave a comment Many people today feel that God's Ten Commandments are no longer valid because they do not apply to our current society. They look to the Ten Commandments as being outdated and full of inflammatory language which doesn't sit well with our politically-correct viewpoint. The Ten Commandments are also considered by many people to have been Continue reading How Do God’s Ten Commandments Apply Today? You did it! There's no question that your taking time to get involved has influenced Dominion Services and Richmond, Virginia, parade organizers to reverse an earlier decision to replace "Christmas" with "holiday." Late yesterday afternoon, after thousands of emails and hundreds of phone calls to Dominion, parade organizers posted a statement on their website stating, Continue reading We Did it…Christmas is Back The city of Richmond, Virginia, has turned coward because the new sponsor of its annual parade wants to ban the word "Christmas." When Dominion, an energy company, took over sponsorship of the parade, it told the city it no longer wanted to use "Christmas" as part of the parade name. Instead, Dominion said it will Continue reading City bans ‘Christmas’ in favor of ‘holiday’ parade – War against Christmas starting already I found a great web site that has been such a wonderful source of information I had to share it with all my readers.

I was told about Big Truths for Little People by Susan and Richie Continue reading Big Truths for Little People Most all of us learned that extremely long word in or around the 4th grade, long before it could roll off our tongues easily and certainly before we could understand the complexity of what it is that we call metamorphosis. In fact, it is my belief, no not my belief, I Continue reading What is metamorphosis? House Upon a Rock is a copywork book for Mathew 7:24-29.

No arm-twisting. No statements of, “You just have to believe.” Well, here is an attempt to candidly offer some of the reasons which suggest that God exists. But first consider this. If a person opposes even the possibility of there being a God, then any evidence can be rationalized or explained away. It is like if someone refuses to believe that people have walked on the moon, then no amount of information is going to change their thinking. Photographs of astronauts walking on the moon, interviews with the astronauts, moon rocks…all the evidence would be worthless, because the person has already concluded that people cannot go to the moon.
