There are certain things that my children play on a weekly basis in our home; building forts is one of those things. They love forts - they destroy my living room quite regularly by taking off all the cushions, bringing in the bar stools and finding every single unused blanket in our house.

After that I can't take it … [Read more...]

Fizzy drinks that contain only … [Read more...]

Are You a Happy Christian?
Would you like to be a happy or happier Christian? I sure would. Which is why I am loving this new book from David Murray, The Happy Christian.
