I Want My Children to Have It All

by John Salmon
“The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.”   I want my children to have it all. That’s right, I want them to be lacking in nothing! Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not talking about them getting all the material possessions and privileges they think they deserve. No, that would just result in another spoiled...

For A Happy Family, Keep Your Eyes on the Road

Children: Jesus is in the House

by John Salmon
My wife and I enjoy visiting family and friends. We also enjoy having family and friends visit our home. But, imagine what would happen if you were to visit my home and I answered the door saying, “Quit knocking so loud. I’m not deaf you know.” As you step into my house, I demand that...
