    Families are a place where: 1. We learn to glorify God and live for him. 2. We receive love and nurturing. 3. We learn about values and character.

    The American Family is being totally redefined today. It can mean almost anything, and anyone who thinks that it should mean one man, one woman and the children that God may bless them with is seen as someone who is out of step, and even a threat to the culture. Family may mean one man and one ...read more
