It was definitely chilly outside. I did not want to put down my warm cup of coffee and step out the door to do the animal chores, but then I thought of my pasture friends waiting patiently. It was time to head out.

Ohio voters and taxpayers are fed up with ever-rising property tax bills, and their frustration has reached a tipping point. Many have signed a statewide petition to amend the Ohio Constitution and eliminate property taxes altogether.

It costs about $1 trillion per year just to service our $38.5 trillion debt, which is still growing at close to $2 trillion per year. Presidents can’t do this alone. Congress passes the budgets, and the American people just go along with the charade. Everybody wants what they want; nobody is willing to sacrifice.

It’s not hyperbole that Davis Gates thinks children belong to the union. She has admitted it.

Jesus dedicated His life to carry you through anything that hurts you. Dedicate your life to Jesus by helping another who hurts.

Newbie NFL football player Desmond Watson, just out of college and weighing in at a hefty 464 pounds, needed to lose weight in order to get off the bench. After a dramatic loss of 35 pounds of flab, he was asked how he had managed to reach that goal.
