10 Reasons Why Your Kids Should Memorize the 10 Commandments
There are many texts in the Bible worth memorizing. Why is Exodus 20:1-21 such a good passage learn? 1. God highlighted the importance of the Ten Commandments by how he gave them to His people. The giving of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai is the one time in human history a large group of people undeniably heard the audible voice of God (Exodus 20:1,19; Deuteronomy 5:4-5,24-26).

Breastfeeding Problems: Try and Try Again (Part 2 of 3)
(Go back to Part 1) 5 years later, my husband and I were overjoyed, although still very surprised at the news that we would be having another child. When my second daughter was born, I still had a deep desire to breastfeed. I wasn’t as hell bent on it happening this time, but I still really, really wanted to. When she was born, I had her latch on for a little while and then had my husband feed her a bottle. I again had one of those horrid sounding blue pumps.

Breastfeeding Problems: Unexpected Surprises (Part 1 of 3)
I was only 17 the day a doctor told me I had cervical cancer. After hearing the word cancer, I felt my body go a little numb. The doctor continued to talk. I had lost 2 grandparents to cancer.
