One of my all time favorite seasons in my relationship with God was when I was single after divorce. Bear in mind this was after 13 years of marriage. I had two young girls and had been a stay at home mom for seven years.

Have you seen his editorial on abortion and healthcare? He doesn't do Nancy Pelosi, Diana DeGette and the House pro-choice liberals any favors with his latest column. Read a couple excerpts below:
