For the last few weeks the name Tim Tebow has gained quite a lot of the mainstream media’s attention. True, he’s the young starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos with a winning record of 7-1 so far this season, but it’s his faith in Jesus that’s causing the media fury! Mostly because when it’s faith / religion related, there’s going to be controversy!
Take for instance “Tebowing,” a newly coined word which describes the one-knee prayer stance that Tim Tebow unapologetically takes on the field after scoring a touchdown. His respect, love and unabashed acknowledgement of the Lord’s sovereignty has taken [...] Read More

Buck Denver shares a poem he wrote about the meaning of Thanksgiving.
A Thanksgiving Poem
by Buck Denver
Turkey, turkey, on my plate
It looks so good, it tasted great!
I should have stopped, but it’s too late.
I can’t believe how much I ate.
As grandma tries to feed me more,
And Uncle Louie starts to snore
I find I’m lying on the floor
My pants are tighter than before.
Thanksgiving is a time of cheer,
Of thankfulness for friends so dear.
But please, Lord, if my prayer you hear,
Remind me to eat less next year.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. [...] Read More

My husband has his degree in criminal justice and part of his studies included learning about the sexual exploitation of children. I trust him taking the lead in these types of discussions. I am actually pretty grateful that he wants [...] Read More
