Reels are the greatest thing since sliced bread, right? They are usually a short, 30-45 second clip that features something funny, intriguing, or just straight bizarre. For most people, the hope is that you will go to their page or off to another website via a separate link. I have seen them used correctly in…

Imagine you’re driving along & you see a caution sign for sharp S curves coming up. How many of those signs would you need to see before you reduced your speed? I can remember taking my family to go see the Creation Museum & the life-size replica of Noah’s Ark back in 2021. Our Airbnb…

This past week, it has been impressed upon me how many generations in the Bible don’t do as well as those who went before them. The Old Testament is full of sons who fell away from the Lord after having loving, faithful parents. As a parent myself, this has been a heavy weight on me.…

Growing up in Western New York, you are almost guaranteed to become a Buffalo Bills fan. My Grandfather was a Bills fan, my Dad was a Bills fan, I am a Bills fan & as it stands at the moment, my sons are Bills fans too (most days). You just can’t not root for them.…

If you have children of your own, you know how much they drastically change your life. I can remember when our oldest son was just a few months old holding him while talking to my mom & she asked me if I could remember life without him. I truthfully couldn’t. The love I had for…

I HATE autocorrect. I have this theory that autocorrect has dumbed down our society to where we couldn’t spell if our life depended on it. This is further proven to me in teaching 7th-12th graders, who self admittedly would tell you they CAN.NOT.SPELL….( I reread these words a few times & it makes it sound like…
