● Challenge your children to come up with 5 things they'd like to learn before they leave home.
Posted in:
1) Give God what's RIGHT -- not what's LEFT.
2) Man's way leads to hopeless end; God's way leads to endless hope.
3) A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.
4) He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.
5) In the sentence of life, the devil may be a comma, but never let him be the period.
6) Don't put a question mark where God puts a period.
7) Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to the church for a faith-lift.
8) When praying, don't give God instructions -- just report for duty.

On my desk is a movie unlike any I have seen in recent memory. It's called "Border", and it's the one movie many in Washington don't want you--or anyone else to see.
Why?
Because it tells a true story. It's not Hollywood fiction with a happy ending. "Border" is a raw firsthand video record of one man's journey to our borders and the unspeakable horrors that he found.

Gas price is continuously increasing right now. Which one you preferred, step by step increase ( Weekly ) or Bulk increase ( One time )?
I'll go with a step by step increase since I can save from it compared to one time increase.
