This Morning We Got Up . . . And Now It’s Time to Go to Bed

25 Aug

When our children were small, I often sang to them before they went to bed. Along with classic children’s songs were two that changed from day to day.

27 Jul

Dr. Benjamin Rush was an important founding father. He was a physician with a brilliant intellect. He was an author, an active leader, and a devout believer in Jesus. He was -- like you and me and every person you and I have ever met -- a complicated person, who got some things right and some things ... View Post
