July 4th weekend is here, this year an extended time for celebrating our nation’s independence in the United States.

I know today is Father’s Day. I know you have been having a difficult time raising your children alone. I see you, My single son. I see your struggles. I see how tough it is to raise a child when the culture around you puts men down, especially fathers, with mocking and dismissive attitudes. I…
A great big “Happy Mothers’ Day” goes to all you ladies who are moms, especially you who were single mothers. Most of you have or had literal, physical children.

Though you may have already said “Happy New Year!” to most of the people in your regular circles, and you’ve settled back into the monotony of day-to-day living, it’s still a fresh new year. It’s only January 8! New year’s resolutions? Nope. I stopped doing those a long time ago. I try to change habits…
