American Dream

Great song by Casting Crowns speaks to what so many people are trapped in today.  Is our loyalty to our kingdom or God’s coming Kingdom?  Who has more sway in our lives - Jesus or our boss?  Do we love our family as a Christian should? Are we good examples to our children and our church of [...]

Following the Camp Model

While you are at Family Camp (or its youth version, Teen Camp as [...]

I love quotes

Baptism Thoughts
