Is This Your Daughter?

Your typically effervescent and gregarious teenage daughter has become withdrawn and introverted. You notice sudden changes in her mood. Her disposition has been really poor lately; she seems to always be in a bad mood. Her smile is gone and her laugh is virtually non-existent. Overall, you surmise, her personality has changed. You chalk it up to hormones; after all, she is a teenager... But is that the only explanation ...

It's All About Relationship

I don’t know why... and this shouldn’t be the case, because this isn’t the first time... but I don’t know why I still get surprised when God answers my prayer/petitions immediately. I guess it just boggles my human mind that He cares about everything that concerns me, to the extent that he will integrate His response to me amongst His response to a multitude of others - simply because He loves me. That’s the GREATEST thing about being in a relationship with God (or whatever you refer to Him as), He KNOWS you. He Knows your heart, your intentions, your best laid plans, shortcomings, sins, etc. and loves, cares, leads, and guides you in accordance with His plans for your life and without regard to your flaws. Need proof? Read the Bible. Show me one person, whom we extol as virtuous today, who walked the earth without sin or blemish but Jesus... Let me save you some time. You won’t find anyone.

The Democratic Process

Picture life before democracy: a world ruled by tyrants, people arrested for unknown reasons, unequal rights for different classes, and death to those who opposed unreasonable tyrants. How could this happen? Why weren’t these rulers questioned?

Sexting:Teen Phenomenon & Felony

Every time you look around, your teen is texting someone about something. They even chide you about your disdain for texting or your inability to text with speed or accuracy. But there’s a shocking new phenomenon regarding teen texting - sharing nude or partially nude photos via text message, known as “Sexting.” Sexting is against the law. It can result in your teen facing felony-level child pornography charges and classified as a sex offender, or at the least, misdemeanor-level charges of contributing to the deliquency of a minor. There have been several cases of such across the nation and in Ohio. One case, that of 18 year old Sycamore High School student Jessica Logan, resulted in her suicide. Logan sent a nude cell phone picture to her boyfriend and it was sent to hundreds of teenagers in at least seven Greater Cincinnati high schools.
