Young girls must continue to have stronger feelings of self-worth and to believe more and more that they are valuable, full-rounded people who can resist the relentless cultural messaging about how just being pretty and a good mother is the only thing a woman is good for...

And the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, be upon this vessel and all who come aboard, this day and forever. Amen”

What else are the representatives waiting for? No more excuses. It's time to vote.

USA reached the knockout stage of consecutive World Cups for the first time, just not the way we wanted it.
Germany beat the US 1-0, following a drenched and soggy match, but USA held onto second place because Portugal defeated Ghana 2-1 in another game played simultaneously.
