\”Meaching Our Riddle Age\”
Reading in 1Kings, I came across the council of officials in the court of King Solomon. There were the usual—priests, secretaries, military leaders, head housekeeper, etc. And then, this jumped out at me: “and Zabud…was the king’s friend” (4:5). A friend. King Solomon had a friend on his council—an individual whom he could trust; someone…

Standing in Through Surrogacy, Final Installment
I was extremely interested to know how Cori handled the emotional aspects of carrying someone else\’s child and then giving that child away shortly after birth. Her answer, below.

Ranting from My Soapbox
