The kids who didn’t go back to the books last week (or earlier) will be heading back tomorrow and the corn is vanishing from the fields as the harvest comes upon us. And we’re celebrating by getting back into the swing of things again, too with the cream of the crop submitted to us over the summer. Our next edition is scheduled for October 1st, 2007. The deadline is 11:59 pm on September 29th. And my birthday is September 7th 😉 Questions should be blog posts–either on professional blogging platforms or myspace and cousins–where the author is seeking advice from their readers. Rhetorical questions answeredRead More →

by Andrea J. Graham The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 brought many issues crashing in on a sleepy America.

In: Adultery, Forgiveness

In response to Standing in the Gap for Cheating Hearts, a commenter asks: Praise God, and thank you. I wanted you to please, if you can spare some time, tell me tell me, inform me, or educate me on how to be forgiving on issues like this? I expect to be forgiven if I find myself in such a situation (God Forbid though), but I find it almost impossible or impossible to forgive if someone did it to me.

  by Andrea J. Graham Many have set about to write about the life and person of our Lord Christ Jesus, and as one destined to do so, I have decided to write down for you this short summary in hopes that I shall be able to produce for you a more in-depth look at a future time. Since I have but a short time in which to write, I must limit myself to primarily focusing on just one of the four gospels, and I have chosen Matthew. We see in Matthew as he details for us the birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection ofRead More →
