Ah it's Sunday which is usually a relaxed day here, church is generally the only commitment we make and leave the rest of the day open. Today I had actually booked myself to attending a meeting where I'd hear from a man who has established a dynamic program where he speaks to high-school aged kids about alcoholism. I was really looking forward to gathering information for the program some of us folks in suburbia are going to establish..... Alas it wasn't to be, my alarm hadn't yet woken me ...

Listen I'm not saying being a Mother is easy, frankly if you knew me in real life you would often see me at my wit's end with my daughters. Day to-day they eat at my ...
Google Didn’t Teach Me to be a Christian Mother
When I first turned my life over to God and accepted Jesus into my life I thought was faced with a hefty learning curve.
