Grrrr…I am a bit torn on this news item; whether to feel more anger or sadness. It seems that a young 18 year old woman found out that she was pregnant. She went to a clinic to have an abortion and was given medicine to dialate her cervix to prepare for an abortion procedure. [...]

Ok, I am going to rant a bit for a minute. Twice this week the news has hit us with two terrible stories about families that self-destructed through murder-suicide. Two families that were destroyed. One family in particular left a suicide note allegedly saying that the reason they were dead was because both the [...]

Today is a day to remember, it is the 64th anniversary of the liberation of the Jewish people from the concentration camp Auschwitz. It was a day of relief and a day of sadness. Sadness for those who’s lives were lost before they could be rescued…and a day of relief for those who were [...]

It is shameful that not only was the 2 year old murdered and thrown away, like an animal left on the side of the road after being hit. However, it gets even worse because, there are [...]
