Author Archives: admin I managed to get the children all out the door to a parade this morning. Thankful no one got run over by a float while diving for candy.

God has used you all in such mighty ways!!! Of course it is always hard when the better half is gone. Praying your time goes well too!  …to have these two boys pick her flowers… It was really funny UNTIL Isaac said, “MARK. SET.

Love your pics- glad your camera is back! I am unwinding today from the AMAZING Hope at Home conference.

Believe it or not–I can be a recluse some times…I think it has something to do with having […] Both of my K kids have just memorized Psalm 23… So all of this is so fresh on my mind! I adore that Psalm so much because each time I hear it I have a visual in my mind! The words are so amazing! Thank you for sharing your heart! This is my FAVORITE song right now.

Glad you were able to get away for some rest and refreshment this weekend.
