God’s Love
March 10, 2010
Filed under Christianity
My son and I have a bit of a game we play. It’s called “Who loves whom more?” As you can guess, he claims that he loves me all the way to the top of God’s head in heaven, and then I claim that I love him to God and back times ten. And on and on. But in thinking about my love for my child and being unable to adequately express the depth and breadth of that love in words, I think that this must only be one tiny, miniscule fraction of the love God has for us, his children. And with that, I let the David Crowder Band take over in this video below of their song, “How He Loves.” Let God touch your heart today. (Hit “Continue Reading” below–haven’t figured out this glitch in the system yet)

Health Spotlight: Berries
Today we are going to spotlight one of our family’s favorite foods.

If my son had to pick... [ Read more → ]

“Climategate”
For the better part of President Obama’s presidency, we have heard quite a bit about global warming and how it is one of his highest priorities to, as a nation, slow its effects. I am working on an article on global warming, but my fear is that there will be irreversible damage done to our nation before the truth is completely exposed about... [ Read more → ]

Hand Over Your Health
These past nine days I’ve had a never-ending, pain-in-my-backside cold. I’ve been in and out of bed, on and off of supplements, and through more cups of hot green tea with honey than I’ve had in my entire lifetime. As minor as this cold is in comparison to many of the health care issues other Americans are facing, I’m grateful... [ Read more → ]

Missing George W. Bush
Despite the unpopularity of my blog title today, I’ll say it anyway. I miss President George W. Bush.
