This article is addressed to pastors, and it's actually more about fathers than mothers, but I found a lot of interesting information in it so I thought I'd share it. Check out Pastors, Don't Use Mother's Day to Bash Dads by Paul Coughlin.

Joke for the day

A man walks into a dentist's surgery and says, "Excuse me, can you help me. I think I'm a moth."

Man: "The light was on..."

Welcome!

Earlier this week Steve and Lacy Myers (and daughter Sophia) welcomed a new addition to the family! Solomon Jude Myers was born Monday, May 5th at 4:15 p.m. (8 lbs 1 oz, 19 1/2 inches for you stat junkies).

Reports are that everyone is doing great and they came home from the hospital yesterday. Congratulations!
