She had eaten dinner, had a low grade fever, and was tired so Tylenol and off to bed. Our toddler woke … [Read more...]

Well, a certain sickness seems to have stirred up fear and more studies about His coming. What about today? Here's the thing, I'm now a young woman in my 20's with a good marriage, beautiful daughter, and a lot of life ahead. Goals that haven't been … [Read more...]
