It’s a Mom Eat Mom World

Last updated on: August 15, 2012 at 11:46 pm By Guest Contributor

I had the privilege today of witnessing a near fist-throwing brawl between two humans. No, it wasn’t at the local tavern or at an intersection between angry drivers. It was at a playgroup, between two moms. I didn’t see the actual offense, but I pieced the story together and it went something like this: a grandmother had touched, picked up, or moved a child that wasn’t her own. The displaced child’s mother stormed across the room and got in the... Read more

Of Dog Crap and Sanctification

Last updated on: August 6, 2012 at 9:38 pm By Jayson D. Bradley

It’s not rare to see someone standing on my street scooping warm dog mess into a plastic bag. My town, like most, requires that you pick up after your pets. What I am seeing more and more of, however, are abandoned plastic bags full of pooch poop. It’s seriously becoming an epidemic; you can find doo-filled bags stuffed in bushes and discarded on remote streets. You see, people will stop and pick up after their dog while they’re being watched,... Read more

Every time I hear someone articulate their opinion about this issue, I get more confused. Here are a couple of things I don’t understand: 1. Why Is Anyone Surprised by Chick-fil-A’s Opinions?

Is the Sinner’s Prayer a Sacrament?

Last updated on: August 1, 2012 at 3:31 pm By Guest Contributor

Our small group recently acquired a new member who at one point called us all “fools” for being Christians. She said it with a jesting smile, but truly, she considered herself some sort of atheist, and us a bunch of dupes. We have appreciated her company, her questions, her curiosity and have watched her grow. She started coming to church, and attending our small group every week. And then she began to pray. She would ask for prayer requests by... Read more
