     | 25,188 views

    There is a rumor going around our nation about something called the "separation of church and state." What does that phrase mean? Are we a nation whose God is the Lord?

    Rumors can be devastating to people and their lives. I remember when I was a teenager. My father injured his foot. I don’t think he broke it, I think he just sprained it. But I do remember that he could not go into the office for several days, so instead, he just set up an office at our ...read more
