This past Sunday was a celebration of life, it was Easter, Resurrection Day. It was also a painful memory that before Jesus was raised to new life, He suffered the most horrible death possible. He suffered physically, mentally, and spiritually. All for us. For me and for you. Some of the lessons of Easter are that sin must be paid for completely, Jesus was completely sinless, he was separated from God the Father for our sins, and that he accomplished all that was necessary for our deliverance from Satan, sin, and death. This event is the...

Neighbors were visiting and the fire trucks were all shined up and ready for kids to dream of being firefighters. It was a beautiful day and the wind didn't pick up terribly...

A reader, who clearly didn't care for columns devoted to science, said, "You know, science gets things wrong." She was, of course, correct. Science does get things wrong sometimes. The difference between science and opinion though, is when science is shown to have made a mistake it seeks to correct the mistake rather than digging in its heels and defending the indefensible. An example of scientific methodology was observation of the planet Uranus, discovered in 1781. As scientists studied it...

It's rude to tell your mom you don't like something she cooked," says Jessica, age 9. Complain about Mom's cooking, and you may find yourself washing the dishes. Now that we're on the topic of food, let's hear from Miriam, 11, on spinach: "Yes, I think spinach is disgusting. I still need to eat it to grow strong."
