The Trash Collector

Raising Parents
I’m starting to wonder if our children weren’t really sent to “raise” US. If you look up the definition of “raise,” the word actually means to lift to a higher position, or to increase the amount of strength. You see, I never saw myself as a mom.

One of the greatest tragedies of our time is one of a misunderstood God. So many people mock Him... so many renounce Him... so many avoid the topic completely. Sometimes I don't blame them. I have come to understand just how deep this confusion and misrepresentation goes, and the ones to blame the most … Continue reading Christians are to Blame… I am to Blame…
