I recently reviewed a talk by Jay Seegert from The Starting Point Project, and if you're entering college soon or you know someone who is, take an hour out of your day to glean from Jay's wisdom.

On September 26th, my husband and I found out that we were expecting our first baby and on January 4th, we found out we are having a girl! For any first-time parents, this life-changing news is both exciting and overwhelming. It’s exciting because we are going to be parents yet overwhelming because of how many questions there are regarding parenting and the plethora of resources to go through.

There is no question that over the last 20 years, the internet has become integral to our daily lives. We depend on it. We use it to follow the news, to keep an eye on the weather, to find and order everything from guns to gum, to discover the best route for our travels, to come up with the best recipe for dinner, to show us how to replace brake pads.

On Wednesday, January 15th, my wife and I are hoping to celebrate our 48th wedding anniversary. We’re grateful our partnership has come this far! Especially in the season of life when we hear about what is termed “gray divorce.” Another unflattering way to describe these late-in-life divorcees is "silver splitters.”

We know why transgenderism is morally wrong. We know how it physically and mentally scars those who fall into its trap. However, most of us don’t know how deep and dark the physical and mental trauma surrounding transgenderism is.

It’s the start of a new year and you know what THAT means! Two things: worthless resolutions and a bevy of awards shows on television. The first of those shows is coming up Sunday, January 12th. It’s billed as The 30th Annual Critics Choice Awards. Hosting the big night will be Chelsea Handler. It will broadcast live on E!

The failure of the public school system is no secret, which causes many Christian families to wisely opt out of public school. Still, all parents desire their children to receive quality education, with high academic excellence being one of the goals and main tenets, along with biblical teaching.

In our last couple articles, we examined two car commercials which both came out recently. Jaguar's ad was one of the most grotesque I've seen, but Volvo's was one of the most beautiful. Take a look at those last two articles for a detailed analysis of each ad, as well as my commentary on how dangerous it is to glorify the abnormal, and how refreshing it is to glorify the normal. After all, we all live in the "normal world" created by God.

Word of the year candidates for 2024 included “Polarization"—Merriam-Webster’s choice. Dictionary.com opted for “demure.” They both had their reasons. My personal choice would be “comeback,” recognizing the remarkable reemergence of a political “has been” and his party winning both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.

Last time, we examined a shocking ad recently put out by Jaguar, the luxury car manufacturer. An ad which glorifies the abnormal and urges viewers to "delete ordinary" and "copy nothing."

Jaguar, the British luxury vehicle manufacturer, recently released an unsettling 30-second advertisement. For a creepy half-minute, a group of more-or-less androgynous characters in idiosyncratic costumes and hairstyles exit a yellow elevator and take up various unsmiling poses in front of the camera. They eventually congregate by a boulder in the middle of a pink-tinted desert landscape to stare uncomfortably into your soul.
