Social media’s influence is everywhere, shaping young minds in ways we sometimes overlook. As a Christian parent, I see firsthand how easily kids absorb what surrounds them, especially online. Social networking sparks lively debates among my teenage Sunday school kids. I often find it challenging to show them how open they are to strangers and […]
Sometime ago, I unsubscribed from a few groups. The tone and weight of their words against men was too hard for me to bear. I am a wife and I am a mum. I have a daughter for now but I will never teach her to see men as devils. No matter what side of […]

For us Christmas meant partying, fireworks, loud music from speakers, uncontrolled eating and […]
My daughter and I had set some year goals for her Bible Study. We looked over how she did over the course of the year about a week ago. As we discussed, we took note of our strengths and fall backs. I am grateful we had some wins. Earlier in the year, we had done […]
