Thanksgiving According to George Washington
So my Senior in High School asked me..."Mom, how can people say America was not founded on a belief in God when this is what I just read?" She was doing some research on the first Thanksgiving congressional resolution and the subsequent federal Thanksgiving proclamation issued by President George Washington, which said: Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God to obey His will, to be grateful for His … [Read more...]

A Son’s Perspective on My MomLife Ministry
Every night at dinner my husband asks the question, "Tell me one thing about your day" and the conversation starts flowing. Each of my other family members had shared their one thing...and it was my turn. So, as I was going into an enthusiastically exciting sharing time about two meetings I had about MomLife Today and some exciting opportunities that are developing for 2011 my son raised his hand and started squirming in his seat. His … [Read more...]
