Holiday of the Day!

Hello All! Today is national rubber eraser day! Weird huh? But you have to admit when you were in school this would have been a much bigger deal lol. When : Always on April 15 Make no mistake, Rubber Eraser Day celebrates the invention of erasers. We all make mistakes. This day is designated to recognize and appreciate the value of that little plug (as manufacturers call them) that sits atop our pencils. When we make a mistake, they are the big "cover-up", make that eraser, of our booboo or faux pax. Just imagine how messy our documents would be without it! Why not just call it "Eraser Day"? There's two reasons. The first erasers were made of rubber. Today, they are made of rubber, or vinyl.  Secondly, in Great Britain, they are formally called "rubbers". In the world of erasers, two men are prominent. Joseph Priestley discovered the eraser in 1770, using pieces of rubber im

Preventing Young People from Losing Faith

Question: "How can we prevent our young people from losing faith?" Answer: This question highlights an unfortunate trend. As numerous recent books and studies have revealed, a large number of today’s youth are becoming disenchanted with the church. As a result, they are either leaving the church altogether or exploring other avenues to satisfy their spiritual appetites. And, contrary to what some may believe, more young people leave the church during their middle and high school years than will leave during their college years. Over 60 percent of young adults who attended church in their teens will ultimately become spiritually disengaged at some point during their twenties (The Barna Group).

Hello All!! Yes, I'm back! I am so sorry to have left you all for so long, but the Holiday season had me running everywhere!! From extended hours at the photo studio, to traveling to see family, but I adore the holidays so I can't say I regret the sleepless nights and long work days lol. So back to business ^_^..at the moment I am snowed in and loving it! I mean, how can you not love an excuse to stay in bed all day, watch movies, eat junk food and sleep? But, sometimes I like to change it up, so here a few things I found floating around the internet that are guaranteed to keep you entertained while you're waiting for the snow to go away. 1. SLEEP!! In this day in age when everything is overpriced, its easy to overwork yourself trying to keep up with expenses. Turn off the lights, put your phone on silent, and rest up!! 2. READ!! There's nothing like a good book. Turn off the TV and pick up those books you have tucked away for "when you get the time"
