I am reading two books at this time on this subject. One by Erwin Lutzer called Is God on Americas Side, and another by Charles Stanley called Turning the Tide. Both are very exciting reads so far.

Police in Georgia have shut down a lemonade stand run by three girls trying to save up for a trip to a water park, saying they didn’t have a business license or the required permits.

The girls needed a business license, peddler’s permit and food permit to operate, even on residential property. The permits cost $50 a day or $180 per year.

The owner of a small restaurant outside Pittsburgh is banning children under the age of 6, saying they regularly disrupted other customers’ meals.
