Hope 4 Petyon

I heard about Anissa Mayhew just before Thanksgiving 2009.  She began her blog about her daughter Peyton’s battle with ALL (leukemia), and was a fairly popular blogger, and built a really informative and meaningful blog about childhood cancer. My nephew Caden has the same kind of leukemia. Honestly, I didn’t know about Anissa until I [...]

Your Best Defense Against the Flu

After spending much time on the phone this week speaking with a Wellness program that our insurance offers for disease management, I was relieved to have some direction and advice. Both of my daughters have been diagnosed with asthma.  If you’ve heard anything in the news about H1N1 and the children who have suffered the [...]

Homeschooling: A Green Solution?

Another Earth Day has come and gone, and lately I’ve been thinking… …about the recent ruling in California against homeschooling families. Here in Southern California the state “religion” seems to be recycling, conservation and environmentalism. I’m all for recycling. I’m all for taking care of the earth God entrusted to us. My husband and I [...]

Teenage girls become Moms at Polygamist Compound

It all started with a brave 16-year-old girl who called a local family violence shelter to report her 50-year-old husband beat and raped her. Officials still aren’t sure where the 16-year-old girl is who made the initial call, and she is not named among the children in initial custody petitions by the state. Texas has [...]

How far is too far?

OK, the government has been sticking there noses into the business of parents way to much over the past several years in my opinion. As my friend, Elizabeth so eloquently put it; “I wish the government would get out of the parenting business. It is one of the many failings of the “it takes a [...]

Sharing Your Faith.

by @ Thursday, August 16th, 2007. Filed under Cup of Faith, Family & Kids, In the News

I’ve got an email subscription to Breaking Christian News. In today’s email it talked about sharing our Faith in schools. The governor of Texas signed a bill allowing kids the freedom to express their religious points of view. I was thrilled. Now the kids don’t have to worry about being sent to the principal’s office [...]

I found this interesting…

by @ Tuesday, August 14th, 2007. Filed under AHHHH!, In the News, Shooting the Breeze

I must say that it is VERY sad what is happening on television all around. I mean, whatever happened to “family” T.V.? Now, everywhere you look there is nothing but JUNK. Bad language. Sexually charged commercials. The list goes on and on. This world has turned into a self absorbed morally deprived loony farm. This [...]
