“A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.” -Proverbs 17:22 In this proverb we see that it is talking about the person on the inside, not just the outward appearance.

When we have a merry heart, it does good like medicine and conversely a broken heart or spirit dries the bones, or in other words, removes the moisture that kee...
“I know what the F-word is,” said my five year old son to his six year old cousin as they rode along in the back seat of the SUV. “I know it too,” his cousin responded with a whisper. “I think it’s… slippers.” It’s one thing to know an f-word, and it’s another thing to know an f-word that starts with an “s.” Now that’s amazing! We were all very relieved that they haven’t discovered what the really bad word is yet. In fact, we would rather them never discover the bad words. As a parent I am dedicated to teaching my ch...

There is an undeserved opinion held by many adults that students earn an inferior education at Fallbrook High School when compared to students at other schools.
