In today's society, respect is a cultural value that seems to be slipping. Many of the people that in the past that were held in esteem now seem to be relegated to nothing roles in society. There are many reasons for that, but that is not the subject of our Family First Site today. How... continue reading...

There was a series of books that were very popular when I was growing up. It was about a talking pig and his barnyard friends, and their everyday adventures. No, it is not George Orwell's Animal Farm or anything like it. I have only recently found out that these long out of print bo... continue reading...

In years past, automobiles were not always made of metal. They have been made of plastics, canvas, and even wood. In fact, during World War II, when metal was needed for national defense, the wooden car became very popular, and that popularity continues even today.

My children are finally growing up and leaving home. As my wife and I reflect on the job that we did raising them, we find that we made some good choices, and some bad choices. The art and science of raising a family have changed over the past 18 to 20 years. So have the resources. I reme... continue reading...

Growing up in the new century will be just as hard, if not harder, than it was in the past one. The pressures that our young children face, both from family and friends, is tremendous.

It's ten o'clock PM. Do you know where your kids are? You can ask the same question at eleven o'clock, and at my house you would have the same answer.
