“We were the only family with children in the restaurant. I sat Erik in a high chair and noticed everyone was quietly eating and talking. Suddenly, Erik squealed with glee and

President Calvin Coolidge once invited friends from his hometown to dine with him at the White House. Unsure of their table manners, the guests decided to imitate the president. They watched closely to see which utensils he used, what foods he ate and when. Their strategy seemed to succeed until

Again we must know what God is saying to us about a particular situation, and we must not assume we know what He is going to say. Jesus allowed divorce for unfaithfulness (Matthew 19:9), but he does not demand it. If trust can be reestablished, 70% of marriages can survive one affair. There are

These two Grand Mananers took a ferry off the island and went deep into the woods on the mainland, searching for a Christmas tree.

A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, looking at the old pages as he turned them. Then something fell out of the Bible and he picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that has been pressed in between the pages. "Momma, look what I found,"
