From Doug Phillips of Vision Forum: For two decades the frog has been in the pot while the temperature has been slowly turned up. Yesterday, it was finally cooked and served to the American people in a sauce so thick as to cover the rancid flavor of the dish. The process began with the Bush presidencies and their toleration for homosexuality. It was advanced in full by the Clinton Administration. It has now reached its logical zenith under Obama. So we should not be surprised by the official announcement that the President of the United States of America has finally...
From Lily and Ellie’s Duggar Family Blog: Come this September, the Duggars will celebrate eight years of reality TV. The following video was filmed in 2005, back when Jim Bob and Michelle had fifteen children under the age of eighteen. Jackson was taking his first steps, Jill had just entered her teenage years, and twins Jana and John-David were learning to drive. Read full article...
Guest post by Kelly P. Many women enjoy target shooting, but I have found something even better – a fun and practical shooting sport called IDPA. IDPA stands for International Defensive Pistol Association and is a shooting sport that simulates real life self-defense scenarios. Shooters use full size weapons and holsters that are practical for real life concealed carry. All you need to compete is a handgun, strong side belt holster, magazine/speedloader holder, cover garment for concealment, and eye and ear protection. I have been shooting in IDPA matches for a year now. Notice I didn’t say “competing”, because I...
From Lily and Ellie’s Duggar Family Blog: Jim Bob Duggar shares his top ten tips for maintaining a healthy marriage. 10. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath. If you have any conflicts, resolve them as quickly as you can (the day they happen, before the sun goes down). 9. The closer a husband and wife get to God, the closer they get to each other. The farther away they get from God, the farther they get from each other. 8. Establish a weekly date night. 7. The husband should cherish his wife and show her he loves...
From Lily and Ellie’s Duggar Family Blog: As teacher and parent, how does Michelle promote healthy competition? Her answer: time. I’ll often tell my children, ”You know, time really is our friend. We want to use our time wisely, because that is our greatest resource that God entrusts to us,’ writes the mom of many in her latest Parentables post. Michelle’s wristwatch is her lifeline. It’s important in a homeschool setting that the kids don’t compare themselves with each other. Setting a timer or a stopwatch can help them focus on their work instead of how well someone is doing....

I strongly believe that camping is one of the most powerful ways to teach kids useful, lifelong skills that will go a long way to prepare them for the future. Not only that, but a camping trip is a great way for families to bond. America’s National Parks provide some of the best camping experiences in the world and Nature Valley is committed to promoting the park and raising funds for their continued preservation. As part of this promotion, they are giving two lucky readers Nature Valley prize packages, containing t-shirts and Nature Valley products! Last year’s adult tee....
image by CarbonNYC I teach about the importance of the Rule of 3 in my webinar class, “Survival Rules You Can’t Afford to Ignore,” and recently applied the rule to identifying the most likely scenarios for prepping. It’s so simple, I don’t know why it hadn’t occurred to me before! If you’re wondering what to prepare for first, answer these 3 questions: What is the most likely natural disaster that might occur in your area? What is the most likely extreme weather event that might affect you? What is the most likely personal or man-made disaster that might occur? Once...
