My kids are as different as night and day.I hear folks say that all the time-- mostly when their kids are in the middle of a scuffle of sharing and self-centered-ness. It really doesn't have to do with one kid being one way and another kid being "different." The natural man prefers himself over his brother from birth. He at least prefers his brother's toys, and in that respect the boys are in

Here is something that our Pastor just reminded us.Love is:*commanded by Jesus before he ascended to heaven john 15:12.*meeting the needs of a person in such a manner that will require personal sacrifice.*unconditional commitment to an imperfect individual.*kept alive through little acts of kindness & thoughtfulness.*giving and expecting nothing in return.*making a true effort to embrace others

In 1992 I shattered the radius, ulna and humerus in my left arm. It took 8 weeks in a cast and 2 years to heal. When my cast was removed, the doctor announced that the hardware inside my elbow could remain there for life because my growth plates showed full maturity. At 12 years old and 5'3" tall I had to face my future like a woman. A short woman. Or as I would later learn in my high school

In fourth grade my homeroom teacher was Mrs. Rhyne. On the first day of school, she made very clear to the room full of 9 year-olds that her name was, "Rhyne like a watermelon rhine and not Ryan like a lion." The pencil sharpener was next to the door in that class. If you sharpened your pencil at 8:24 am you could see the sixth graders walking to band class.You know how when you're in school
