2011 - BAD PARENTING: A BIRTHDAY CARD WITHOUT MONEY

"I'VE
NEVER KNOWN HOW TO PRAY..."

Mom’s Empty
Chair
From Dan Harless, Author Unknown
A woman’s daughter had asked the local minister to come and pray with
her mother. When the minister arrived, he found the woman lying in bed
with her head propped up on two pillows. An empty chair sat beside her
bed. The minister assumed that the woman had been informed of his
visit... ‘I guess you were expecting me, he said. ‘No, who are you?’
said the mother. The minister told her his name and... Read More. More Senior Scribes. |

SOMETHING WITH MY HANDS

The Value of
Work
By Jackie Gingrich Cushman
In my hands was a small, multicolored clay turtle that I had made and
painted at elementary school. I carefully walked up the steps to the
front of our home, excited to show my mother what I had made and give
