Goldilocks and the bears
What’s the real meaning of the fairy tale about Goldilocks? To be frank (although Frank is not my name), “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” is more confusing than a stop sign on a roller coaster track. First, you gotta accept that a bear family owns a fancy two-story deep in the woods. 09/13/2024 02:32 PM

When you align with Christ you know you will get safely home

In between those days are birthdays and anniversaries, umpteen doctor and dentist appointments, which my wife and I like to call, “date days”, and then there are those days that we wonder “How in the world did we ever make it through”, days, but somehow, we did. 09/13/2024 12:06 PM
