In an attempt to encourage my daughter to be more active I would ask her to go for a walk with me around the neighborhood or play a game outside. She was not enthused or even slightly motivated. So I tried a different approach. I started working out at home in front of her. It […]
Every night I do a read aloud with my kids and last month was Charlotte’s Web. The main and well known theme in Charlotte’s Web is friendship. However, as I was rereading the book to my own children the underlying theme of life and death was more apparent. E.B. White’s famous children’s novel focuses on […]
Written by Julie Stuckenschneider When thinking about the pro-life movement, how many think that it’s great a man is against abortion but still doesn’t quite deserve an opinion about it?

Christina* was basically homeless when she received a positive pregnancy test. She was staying with a close friend so thankfully she was not out on the streets. Although she was grateful for her friend’s generosity, Christina* felt abandoned by her family. And the recent news of her pregnancy made her situation seemed impossible. She thought […]
