Whose
House Is It? By Mona Lease
Hi, all!! I've been seeing this a lot lately: "As for me and my house,
we will serve the Lord." I've seen it on facebook, in the newspapers,
heard it on the radio, etc. I've wondered what that actually means.

Labor
Day?!
By Mona Lease
HI, all!! I've always wondered about Labor Day. No Federal employees
work it. How is that? Where did Labor Day start? Why? So - I googled
it. Labor Day is always the first Monday of September. Oh - ok. It's
created by the Labor Movement and dedicated to the social and economic
