Commentary - Holidays can be a very stressful time
We know that without a supportive community we could not possibly do our jobs. Advocacy is not the work of a few, but the concerted effort of an entire populace.

Wikipedia defines parenting as “the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood.” Wish I had that definition when I decided to become a parent 16 years and nine months ago.

Letter - If no flood, how would ark be sitting on a mountain?
