That means not touting the Mexican flag or demanding that our National Anthem be sung in Spanish. Many people called into the radio station that morning, including Hispanics, to [...] Read more »
Soldier Surprises Son in Class
My eyes filled up when I saw the look on this little boy’s face. I hear about Iraq all the time and have talked with adults who have either spent time there or have children who are deployed there. None of those conversations had nearly as much impact as this short video. Even my husband [...] Read more »

Home Sweet Home

Happy Mother’s Day!
I woke up nearly two hours later than I normally do, due to a bad night’s sleep. That’s not a big deal because I had nothing earthshattering planned. Just writing and sitting around all day in my nightshirt. God, I love Sundays! My husband is outside right now, performing a much-needed tune-up on my car. [...] Read more »

She planned on saving her virginity until she was married. She was brutalized and raped, sodomized as bad as you can possibly make [...] Read more »
