Read MoreMore Thoughts Adoption
Someone on Facebook shared some very insightful comments I would like to share with you all: There’s another element to this story that has not been addressed – and that is the fact that so many adoptive families are ill-equipped to deal with the realities of bringing home an older child, group of siblings, and/or…
Read MoreCounter Arguments 3
Pearl and his followers are insisting that the Schatzes were not following his teachings. I have been thinking about writing a post which would analyze this, but I think it is best to wait until after the trial for such speculation. Finding an impartial jury will be hard enough.

Read MoreA Challenge
I generally do not link to non-Christian arguments for the reason that they are rarely of any use to us. They will rarely convince a Christian and I have yet to see a non-Christian which needs convincing. I am linking to the article below because what I see here is a challenge to Christians to…

Another Reaction to the Schatz story. I want to make one point: Lydia’s sister was not just sent to the hospital with massive bruising, her kidneys were also starting to shut down. In other words, she was beat within an inch of her life and thanks to God, they were able to save her life.…
