The flowers shops are packed on Mother’s Day; the phone lines are overloaded on Mother’s Day. Father’s Day? It doesn’t set any records.

I have read that the most important relationship for a girl is her relationship with her dad. The father exemplifies to her what a man should be. He shows her how a man should treat a lady. The way he relates to her even has the power to determine her view of what God her […]
When my children were little, we loved to read together out loud. We visited the library several times a week to return books and check out a stack of new ones. When is your favorite time to read together with your children? I read to my children in the middle of the afternoon when it’s […]
