A Giver of Good Gifts
I recently purchased a bunk bed for my daughter.Did she need one? Not at all!But this was one of her heart’s desires for many years now. Somehow she likes the idea of climbing her bed to go to sleep.After she asked for the umpteenth time – never really forcing the issue – I decided it […]

Relying on God for Directions
As we are heading into to summer and trying to figure out the best way to spend it, one of the activities I’ve suggested is painting.
