By Dave Meyer Although many people are unaware of it, Satan has a plan for America. He wants us to forget our godly heritage and slowly erase our rich, biblical foundation. We see the signs everywhere; God and prayer have been removed from schools and history books. God has been removed from our government except during times of emergency like September 11.

The problem is, it’s not just one meal, it’s a lot of different meals and pastries that people seem to always bring out during the holidays…especially in the workplace. I … Continue reading How NOT To Gain 5 Pounds This Month
