That said, I&#8217;m hoping to get this mom some advice from all sides of spiritual fence and hopefully help her find a resolution to her problem.  Dear Guilty Parent, My son came home the other night from a...]]></description>

Good times right? Do you remember ever having to pay to participate in any of those days? No? Me either. Even the worst behaved kids in school...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday some nastiness started and it all started over my statement of not liking my Amish neighbors. A couple of people called me out on it. One on Twitter and one on Facebook. I think handled both as well as I could at the time. For one of those people though, my response wasn&#8217;t enough....]]></description>
