Disney Star Demi Lovato Admits to Cutting

I know that some of us tend to enjoy the demise of Hollywood stars. That has become quite obvious considering the number of people who have actually paid money to go see the crazy antics of Charlie Sheen. There is this fascination with seeing the famous fall and most of the time, it is not only to their detriment but it is to the detriment of others, especially impressionable teens who sometimes look up to these stars. Whenever a teenage star or idol “falls,” I am always concerned about the negative impact it may have but in a recent interview … Continue reading →

Should Christians Get Tattoos or Piercing?

Posted on by

In addition to the question of whether Christians are justified in getting tattoos and piercing, I’d like also to keep in mind other types of permanent procedures that some would go as far to suggest is mutilation.

I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.” (NKJV) I was … Continue reading →

If you are having trouble locating any information at all on your adoption, even after very careful research, it is possible some illegalities were involved.

Biggest Scrapbooking Mistakes – Decorative Scissors

Most likely you have a pair or two, or if you are like me, you have more like 22! So at one point, I was addicted to the creative use of decorative scissors. Yes, I’d like to hang my head in shame when I look at those layouts, but they were certainly a hot item back then! Before decorative scissors really entered the scrapbooking picture, pinking shears were the hot item. So of course I had discovered those first. I have lots of photos cut with those beautiful little pinking shears and it makes me cringe each time I look … Continue reading →
