My favorite toy as a child was my race car set.  It had a race track with a groove down the middle of each lane.  Once you learned how to keep your car in that groove, those little cars would fly around that track.  The secret to winning was to get the car properly in the groove at the start of the race and keep it there.  If you were sloppy about getting your car in that groove, it didn’t make it around the first turn without flying off the track.The same is true for the start of a school […]

  Having placed 50 percent of America’s economy under government control, the Obama Administration is now angling for a tighter grip on the financial sector. The operative word is “fairness,” which is shorthand for Obama’s famous campaign promise to “spread the wealth around.” When critics said that this remark to “Joe the Plumber” displayed Obama’s socialist leanings, Obama justified it by citing Scripture: “My Bible tells me there is nothing wrong with helping other people,” said then-Sen. Obama. “That we want to treat others like we want to be treated. That I am my brother’s keeper, and I am my […]

  Neighbors are people that we see every day. If you think about it, they do a lot for us. They keep us from being the only house on the street. They fill up the mall and the grocery store so we don’t have to shop there alone. But they affect our lives in bigger ways than that, making a difference in ways that tend to go unnoticed. Because these are behind-the-scenes heroes. We’re talking about the homemakers whose full-time job is to bring up children who will know God and serve Him with all their heart. The quiet folks […]
