In night, Elie is taken to a concentration camp where he endures many experiences and pain. Although the play and…

think of what a family consist of, I am reminded of how gracious God is. Without going into too much detail, I was raised in four different families types, that included: nuclear family, foster family, step-family and a single parent family. Idealy one would think that I had no concept of what a perfect family is. Thankfully, through Christ, I was able understand what a biblical family looks like. There is not a complete secret code manual of what a family should be and how a family should…

Growing up, I lived in a very busy family. Between my siblings and I going to sports and music lessons, balancing school, and having our own jobs. We were constantly on the go, and we barely had time to eat dinner together most nights. We usually had Family Home Evening on Sunday for 20 minutes in which we took the time to mostly figure out everyone’s schedule for the upcoming week.

The contemporary family issue that I picked to focus on is blended families and all the struggles that children have. The percentage of blended families in America are, “68% of re-marriages involve children from prior marriages” (The bonded family 2015). A majority of the families that you see are blended in some way or form. 48 percent of marriages will end in a divorce (The bonded family 2015), which says that many children are living in blended homes. Many children struggle with all the…

These events attract a lot of people into our town in late August. People look at the fair as a mini family vacation, they come from all over the surrounding states to join in on all of the fun. Some families also camp at the fair. In my…

Being adopted, I don’t feel like there are exactly cons but there are things that can be difficult for me. The most difficult part of being adopted is the whole reality that your blood family is a mystery. It really depends on the amount of information that you receive about your family and where they live. I know a lot of people that are adopted and they know their real parents and have even hung out with them before. For me, that’s not the case. When I received the…
