Life is just too short to go quail hunting with the wrong people.

There are some discrepencies in the writings of Paul. Some Christians chose those ones that say that women should be restricted in their services. I choose to emphasize the equality of people in God's eyes.

In a nation that was proud of hard work, strong families, close-knit communities, and our faith in God, too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption.

We've learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose.
