It's hard to be a parent, as Supernanny Jo Frost has found out over her many years of working with families. And badly behaved kids can be hell to deal with.

The condition of the economy is causing a lot of people to lose what they thought would be lifetime positions. I am hearing from people all the time that are losing positions that I thought and they thought were safe. Just today, I was told by a lady who has worked in a management position with a grocery chain 14 years that her husband lost his job of 30 years. He worked for a telacommunications company and made very good money. They lost their contract and he can't find anything else out there, even in other states.

(ARA) - Half of American caregivers make health-related decisions for a loved one, and a new government survey finds an equal number are now helping to manage the finances of a parent, friend or other person needing their care -- adding to caregivers' levels of stress and anxiety.

Yet, surprisingly, only 52 percent of caregivers receiving Social Security payments on behalf of the person they care for say they use direct deposit, a decades-old time-saving tool that is safer and more reliable than paper checks.

If you're overwhelmed with your house, embarrassed to have anyone over, and exhausted by all of the organizing information out there, My Messy House is the right place for you. I am a Messie. Not a reformed Messie or a recovered Messie, but an honest-to-goodness packrat Messie.

I won't promise you instant results, but I can promise that if you stick with it and do a little bit every day, you can reach an acceptable point. You might never be a full-fledged cleanie, but there is hope for you, just like there has been for me.

"Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak.

Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony." (Psalms 6:2)

Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. (1 Peter 5:7)

These are troubling times, both in our country and maybe in our personal lives. This scripture speaks so much with so few words. God is telling us that He loves us so much that we can unload all our worries, anxieties, and heartaches on Him. We don't have to carry the weight of our burdens alone.

How can Christians say that Jesus is the only way to God?

Jesus Himself claimed to be God and others recognized Him as Deity. He said, "I and the Father are one." (John 10: 30) The Greek language, in which the New Testament was originally written, is explicit. Literally, Jesus said, "I and the Father, We are one." Jesus also claimed that He was the only way to God: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me." (John 14: 6) Again, the Greek language is very clear. Jesus used the words 'the way' and not 'a way'.

You are very special. You have been called by God to lead a sinful flock. There is not one flock that is perfect or they wouldn't need you. They are at the church because they need help. If they didn't recognize that, they wouldn't be there.

They may not admit it, but, the worse they are the more they know they need to be there. That is just what Jesus did. Although he was not appreciated by many, he got the victory and continues to sit at the right hand of God.
