Let me put things into perspective. When I was a college professor, it was standard for students to fill out opinion surveys at the end of the course on what kind of job you did in the class.

From alcohol, to prescription, to recreational, it seems our favorite past time as a nation has became drug use. Now our children are becoming victims of our ignorance and lazy life styles. More >>

I could totally relate to the call about the disrespectful boy throwing his homework at Dad. When I called my pastor about my husband being too hard on our 19 year old son, thinking the pastor would side with me, he had this to say... More >>
