Mashable created a great tribute to the wonderful actor that is Robin Williams. His death on Monday, 11th of August, 2014 shook the world, and the outcry on the Social Medias was more than a little noticeable. His ability to make us laugh, cry, and feel emotions deep within ourselves will never be forgotten. About…
Ladeeees and genetlemen…. Introducing FamilyFirst’s First Wikipedia Pick! Wikipedia is the 200 lb. gorilla on the web. Reviled by some, praised by many, many more, its nicely represents the summation of human knowledge. It’s chock full of articles, but anything you find here (especially anything controversial) should be taken with a grain or two of…
The account of Noah and his ark is one that transcends culture itself. Most ancient societies have legends about an earthwide flood being survived by a small number of humans and animals in a vessel.

Today’s FamilyFirst site is a tribute to the absolutely horrible chances we took decorating our homes, specifically those in Europe….
“This land is your land, this land is my land…” So goes the folk song. The country that we live in is our responsibility to maintain, and eventually pass on to our children. Giving them a clean place to live, fresh air to breath, and clean water to drink is a very important part of…
One of the longest running television shows is one that has become an American icon. They have been on for so long that a person would need a book or something to keep all the details about the show straight. Hey, they do have a book! DOH! Anyway, today’s Family First site can help show…
Several weeks ago, one of our cable channels ran a weekend marathon of one of the most famous television shows of all time. It has become an example of film noir translated to the television screen, as well as a look at what our society was like in the 1950’s and 1960’s. I found a…
As we continue our visit with the Golden Age of Radio programs, today we visit a program that was rather daring for its day. It was tremendously funny, and the characters on it are remembered to this day. It is called the Fred Allen Tribute Site, and is an online salute to (who else?) Fred…
