It’s a constant cycle of analyzing your actions. It is a struggle not knowing what you are doing and how your actions will affect them in the long term. Most of us can say we have eaten the words “I will never do that when I have kids” or “My kids will never act like that.” It is safe to say that you just don’t have a clue until you are trying to raise your own children. As a child growing up, even into adulthood, you don’t realize this until you have your own. It brings much pressure not just to raise successful, well-adapted children, but to also raise children who are strong in the faith and the Word of God. Parenting is one of the hardest tasks God has given mothers and fathers.

The glittering new book from the author hailed by the Chicago Tribune as "unique, intriguing, and often hilarious."

I consulted the Internet-because it knows everything-and sure enough, the Al Pacino film 88 Minutes, which gets a wide release April 18, is basically a remake of D.O.A. Something clicked in my head: Hadn't I seen a trailer in the last month or so for a movie that sounded like D.O.A. I guess we can expect another version in about 2008." This is actually the fourth version of D.O.A. It's 10 times better (and cheaper to buy). The end of it read: "Look for the 1949 version.

The first public sight of the couple on their Coronation day is expected to be relatively early on Saturday morning as they arrive back at the palace to prepare for the procession to the Abbey. The early exit was a red line from the start to ensure the King was well-rested for Saturday. The King was set to leave the reception he hosted for foreign royalty and heads of state at Buckingham Palace at 6.30pm sharp to join the Queen for a private dinner at Clarence House. On Friday night, both insisted on turning in early. Having prepared for this moment for some considerable time, royal sources revealed that Their Majesties were keen to factor in valuable downtime that will allow them to take stock behind closed doors amid the unprecedented spectacle.

Tales of Adam is a short story collection by Daniel Quinn. Now imagine that reincarnation is real, that souls migrate over time from one living creature to another, and that a soul that once animated an American black woman living at the time of World War II now animates an Aryan in this world and that due to a traumatic accident, memories of this earlier incarnation are recalled. The reality is that to be human is to be white, and what came before was literally ancient history having nothing to do with the people living in the present. Two thousand years in the future, people don’t remember, or are even too interested, about this distant past. The Nazis continued their goal to rid the planet of “mongrel races” until eventually the world – from Cape Town to Tokyo – was populated exclusively by white people. was never bombed, occupied, or even invaded, yet was forced to recognize Nazi world dominance. In the world of After Dachau by Daniel Quinn, Nazi Germany developed the atomic bomb and the Allies surrendered. But then, one night, he falls asleep and ends up in a nightmare he just can’t seem to wake up from… He’s got a terrific project, and he’s met the woman of his dreams - literally, his dreams (though they’re rather odd ones).

Light in Dark Times is beautiful to look at and to hold – an exquisite work of art that is lively, informative, enlightening, deeply moving, and inspiring. In a time when many of us struggle with the feeling that we cannot do enough to change the course of the future, this book is a call to action, asking us to envision and create an alternative world from the one in which we now live.

What will become of us in these trying times? How will we pass the time that we have on earth?
