I’ve heard enough about how Christians should stay out of politics because we represent Jesus, and shouldn’t alienate other people. Or worse yet, “God doesn’t care about your politics.” God cares about what we think, what our attitudes are, and what we do in life, so...
This has been going on for a while now; every day I read the news, these words come out of my mouth: I never thought— I never thought the most disgusting song I’ve heard won the best song of the year, yet Dr. Seuss, Mr Potato Head, and Miss Piggy are canceled. I never...
During the holiday break, we took a family trip to Disney Springs. It is a beautiful shopping, dining space usually filled with sunshine, children’s chatter, and laughter. But this time, as we walked around, we could hear a repeated broadcast throughout the entire...
