Convention Center Dec. 30 through Jan. 3,… View more

As another holiday season draws near, it may seem hard to find God amid the never ending list of things to do.

Every November 1 it’s the same routine. Sleepy-eyed kids drag their sugared-selves to school while parents sift through their candy to sneak a piece before being caught. Or something like that.

It’s easy to feel like nothing more than a statistic. Upon birth, we’re given our own, personalized nine-digit code (which most of us protect far greater than our name).

Faith, quite simply, is having trust or confidence in someone or something. Although the word is often connected with organized religion, we all use our faith in ways without even realizing it.

Whenever somebody sneezes, you probably utter the expression without even thinking about it. Bless you.

When the Supreme Court ruled last month that the Peace Cross in Bladensburg, Maryland, could remain on public land, it sent a strong message to Americans everywhere.

We know God is part of America because we see it everywhere – in the pledge, on coins and engraved in the Capitol. Yet God remains under siege.
