My all-time favorite movie is Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life” starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed, primarily because of its premise. Each life has extreme potential and significance to the lives of those around them, impacting society in ways we can never fully fathom. If you haven’t seen the film yet, rent it today…in [...]

I was pleased to find that the Fluvanna County School Superintendent, Dr. Tom Smith decided last fall to begin a new way to communicate with the Fluvanna Community by starting his own blog. His introductory message gave a status update to the progression of plans on the new High School, among other things. “The School [...]

Have you seen Obama’s Agenda yet? It’s on the WhiteHouse.gov website, and quite frankly I find it revolting. Governor Huckabee had Matt Staver (from Liberty Counsel) on his show this weekend and here they discuss just a few of the social issues under the category, “Civil Rights”.

I just went to the new library yesterday for the first time and I was baffled by the “Fuel Efficient Vehicle Parking” signs reserving the spaces right in front of the door. There were about 3 or 4 6 of them (in addition to the 3 or 4 5 handicapped spaces). What’s up with that? [...]

This fall I’m excited to be homeschooling my two preschoolers. A few months ago I met with some homeschooling parents from my church and decided to dive in myself. Several years ago I had considered homeschooling our oldest when we moved from Oklahoma, but shortly after we closed on our new house I discovered I [...]

Fluvanna County has had problems of over-crowding in the elementary and middle schools for several years now. The band-aid solutions have been to install trailers on the two campuses, but these were only meant to be temporary. Well, another school year has gone by and still no reasonable solution has been provided by the School [...]

The movie, EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed was released last Friday and the critics have been vocal. First let me say, a few weeks ago in my post entitled, Intelligent Design Under Attack, I wrote about this soon-to-be-released movie claiming: “The premise is that it’s a documentary about how the idea of Intelligent Design (a.k.a. Creationism) [...]

“Border is a must see documentary about the serious and dangerous problems the nation is facing due to unsecured and porous borders. Using footage obtained over the course of a month on the southern border of the U.S. covering four states, Border reveals the cause and effects on the people on both sides of the [...]
