Bad Baby Names

My brother and his wife are having their second baby.  It's a boy.  They have asked that the family keep the name suggestions to ourselves.  I guess we all got a bit overwhelming with the suggestions for their first child and they'd like to do this one SOLO.  Here's what started the whole family naming ritual... We already had a name picked out if our first child was a boy:  Christopher Ryan.  And it was supposed to be a boy.  She was supposed to be a boy.  The doctor told us she was a boy, but on the off chance she wasn't a boy, we needed a girl's name!

Words to live by

A new friend I met on Facebook posted quite a profound observation!  It was so astute, I had to post it here on Communication FUNdamentals.

Tribute to our military heroes!

I wanted to create something to post for Memorial Day that blessed and honored our fallen heroes.  One thing lead to another and I found this staring back at me from across the computer.  It struck me in an instant that our military are so much like our Savior.  They are willing to give everything for the rest of us.  Some did! Others are out there right now and are ready and willing to give everything for our country and others they are protecting.  And their families are heroes too because they are sacrificing so much so that these brave men and women can  be willing to sacrifice all.  This is for each of them.  From everyone at Art of...
