It's been said that a family that prays together stays together. Family members who love one another pray together. Love is a powerful emotion. The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference.

Whenever I have been interviewed on FOX News, CNN, or local channels, they tell me, "You do such a great job! You don't even look nervous!" I am… Continue reading Flashback: Texting
