The account of Noah and his ark is one that transcends culture itself. Most ancient societies have legends about an earthwide flood being survived by a small number of humans and animals in a vessel. Makes you think, doesn't it?
Today's FamilyFirst site is a tribute to Noah and the animals he carri... continue reading...

tribute September 9, 2006 
It's amazing how many FamilyFirst picks are (a) musical in nature and (b) influenced by what I happen to be listening to at the time.

Ah, the high-flying dot-com days. Who can forget them?
Those high-rolling years from about 1997 through 2001 were a time of hysterical money spending as company after company grabbed up domains and set up websites.
Then came the crash.
Today's FamilyFirst site is a bittersweet account of on... continue reading...

Ah, the 70's. What an era. It started with Vietnam war protests at a high volume, and ended with the death of disco. In the meantime, we wore polyester, bought avocado-green appliances, and ate fondue.
Today's FamilyFirst site is a tribute to the absolutely horrible chances we took decorating our h... continue reading...

"This land is your land, this land is my land..."
So goes the folk song. The country that we live in is our responsibility to maintain, and eventually pass on to our children. Giving them a clean place to live, fresh air to breath, and clean water to drink is a very important p... continue reading...

tribute December 27, 2003 
Several weeks ago, one of our cable channels ran a weekend marathon of one of the most famous television shows of all time. It has become an example of film noir translated to the television screen, as well as a look at what our society was like in the 1950's and 1960's. I found a website that su... continue reading...
