I had to protect my children once, when we were living out in the country in north Georgia when we had some wild dogs come upon the property. I had to run and pick up my children out of the front yard and get between them and the wild dogs, and chase the dogs off.

What do you look for in a church? "I got two kids, so somethin' to deal with youth." "A place where we can serve effectively, followed by more of a psychological/philosophical fit." "I'm a musician, so I would look for a church that has a really quality music program."

We asked this woman what it means to "fear God"… "I think it's a reverent fear like we have for our parents, that if we don't obey Him, He has the power and the authority to…put our souls in Hell. So I fear Hell. I fear His authority to put me there if I don't obey."

"Waking up late causes me stress." "Something that causes me stress is indecision." "Lots of times when my house is a total mess. I've got lots of things to do, thank yous to write, and I can't seem to find the time."

The temptation that the enemy throws in my way is just the thought of, "Hey, I've worked hard all day. I deserve some time to veg out and spend time alone and not engaging with my family."
