"The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it."
December is a crazy month. I feel so much pressure to get stuff done. Now "stuff" includes finishing my ever-growing must finish Christmas movie list, drinking a cup of hot chocolate while sitting on my porch in 75 degree weather, and finding the perfect gifts for e.v.e.r.y.o.n.e.

This week's story is about a great man with a wonderful sense of humor. I first met Scotty during the summer of 2013 while working EFY, a summer camp for teens. He always kept me on his toes with his wit, attitude, and the kids he got. He had a way of uplifting those who... Continue Reading →

It is not every day that a "Mormon" film hits the big theaters. Even though there are quite a few of us, it is not something that occurs often. I had been hearing great things about the newest one, The Saratov Approach, and decided it was worth seeing. So my brother and I decided to... Continue Reading →
I have always been a huge Duck Dynasty fan, there is no denying this fact. News about Phil Robertson's suspension from the A&E network has flooded new's feeds across the world.
