I’ve become increasingly frustrated with the people who have been entrusted with informing the masses about the important daily happenings occurring in our world. A long time ago, I swore off watching the news and buying into all of the crap they spew; understanding that much of it is scripted and designed to either keep…
So, after much consideration I’ve decided to do this feature on a weekly basis instead of daily. There is so much information out there that it is impossible for me to keep up with. So, I’ll gather what I can and share it here each week. Also, Today’s Pondering will return next week. Thanks for…

Things that really have no place in the church sermon, but that seem to be the only way the pastor knows how to connect with his congregants. It always bothered…
Since I’ve added a few hundred friends on Facebook during the past week, I feel like I should re-introduce myself here as well. I’m Rebecca Benston, and I’m an author and publisher.

It’s almost impossible to have an intelligent discourse with someone these days when it comes to politics, religion, or any other matter of substance. It’s really not even a simple thing to debate mundane matters if you think about it. But, lately I’ve been compelled to weigh in on some things which have made me…
