What's Happening In Your Neck of the Woods?

It is sad that the integrity of mankind has faltered the way it has. Among the good, there is also the bad and the ugly. The news is filled with mostly bad news; good news doesn't sell. This past week in our area a 24-year old male high school teacher/coach was arrested and confessed to having sex... Sign in to see full entry.

A New Day

It is a new day, and here in Texas the sun is shining ever so brighty, but the forecast says that the sunny skies will fade and turn to thunderstorms sometimes this afternoon.

Wise Words Are Always In Season

Forbidden fruit creates many jams. Christians, keep the faith...but not from others! Satan subtracts and divides...GOD multiplies and multiplies. To belittle is to be little.

DNA Testing

I just got my DNA testing kit and collected my DNA and sent it back to the world's first and largest Genetic Genealogy organization.

Courage To Win...

I watched a movie last night about a young lady, Anne Sluti, who was abducted from a mall in Nebraska in April 2001. Her abductor was a 30ish man from Minnesota that had been arrested 20 times before his 18th birthday. Anne was repeatedly chained, raped, and beaten. He battered and bruised her body...
