Cliques
We’ve all seen them, both in our high schools and in the media. Cliques of both boys and girls. Shows and books like Gossip Girl, The A-Listand movies like Mean Girls revolve around this phenomenon that is all too real in high schools across the country. Belonging to a clique is based on shared values, and these values are usually superficial things – how you look, what clothes you wear, and...

“The terrorists never won. They may have thought they won. They inflicted terrible damage on people’s lives and our economy. But they were never going to beat America. They just didn’t understand us. They didn’t know we are a nation of compassionate, kind people who are very courageous and would…

But it will not last forever, and...

God's Love Note
Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone, to have a deep soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively.
But God says to a Christian: “No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled, and content with being loved by Me alone. With giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me, with having an intense personal and living relationship with Me...
