Two children, one in Canada, the other in Arizona, were diagnosed with leukemia. Their stories are virtually parallel, until the end. Both began chemotherapy.

I have a confession to make – I don’t care about football. (Gasp!) I live in Alabama, and I think that it’s against the religion here to say that I don’t watch, like, or pay attention to football. So I know that I am taking a chance by confessing this publicly. If you don’t live […]

In what some are calling a miracle, a Florida woman is doing well following a major complication during the cesarean birth of her baby a month ago. She had no pulse for 45 minutes, but just as the doctors were about to call her time of death, there was a beautiful blip on the heart […]

No one seems to have figured out for certain how the offensive term even came to be in a recent version of an Army regulations handbook, but the backlash was swift once the word “negro” was discovered within its pages.

Perhaps, she […]

Like most technology, the internet and platforms such as Twitter and Facebook can be used for good or evil, or anything in between.

When Hobby Lobby President Steve Green told Congress that the Bible was important to him and his family, he didn’t view it as a convenient argument put forth as a political ploy to get out of the ObamaCare provision that employers provide abortifacient forms of birth control.

It is a statistic cited as a foregone conclusion by various politicians and pundits. “98 percent of women use birth control.” It’s as if anyone who doesn’t believe that number has been hiding under a rock or is willfully ignorant of the facts.

Some things make sense when they are put together, like chocolate and milk, or macaroni and cheese. But some combinations just don’t make sense.

There is a new ad out from a conservative group, Americans for Shared Prosperity, which plays like a scene from a disillusioned lover who is sick and tired of the broken promises.
