                    The RING represents the deepest bond possible between two people. In our culture it is a symbol that speaks of two people becoming so close that they become one flesh. Their priorities are joined, their hearts are joined; in their ambitions they desire to compliment and support one another – you

                    When I was ten, my parents gave me a brand new baseball and then left to go shopping.  They left strict orders not to play baseball in the backyard, though, since we had such a small yard.  Unfortunately, my friends were there with a baseball bat.  They talked me into hitting just once.  I decided

                    Suffering can become so intense at times that we don’t know how we can take any more pain. It’s in these moments that Jesus reassures us of His presence and sustains us, even though for reasons we do not understand the hurt is not taken away.

Concerning that statement, a preacher asked, “So, with all those qualifications, why bother with Mother’s Day at all?
