I was sending a greeting to my daughter and found a really funny cat picture with OMG shes coming home on it. Harmless greeting I thought, but then I got to thinking about OMG , how commonly this is used and inded the phrase 'oh, my God', when we are shocked or in exclamation. I wondered is this truly blastpheming as it is so common place, when I hear Jesus' name used inappropriately I am saddened and know its clearly wrong, but when I say 'Oh my God', or hear it, I dont 'always' feel that… Continue

Duck? Duck? Goose.

few years ago, I played a game of “Duck, Duck, Goose.” It was me, a few other teachers,

and a room full of energetic 6–9 year olds. I sometimes find myself in odd situations like this. I’m never quite sure why.

This is the game where everyone sits in a circle and takes turns picking one person to play the part that everyone wants to play,…

All I Need To Know I Learned From Noah And The Ark.

1. Don't miss the boat.

5. Don't listen to critics, just get on with what has to be done.

6. Build your future on high ground.

7.…

What power would come upon the soul,

if we would grasp a single line of Scripture

and suck the honey out of it till our soul

is filled with sweetness.
