This is Foster Care…
The last year and a half has rocked my world as we’ve stepped into the hard messy world of foster care. I heard a sermon last week that really made me think. It was on a passage I’ve heard a million times. The one about Jesus walking on water, but Jesus didn’t speak to my heart … [Read more...]

Pull my Finger…
The doorbell rang. I glanced down at my watch as I quickly flipped a passel of grilled cheese sandwiches on the griddle. I smiled to myself thinking it must be one of the neighbor kids wanting to play. All of my littles ran to the door in a mad dash excited to see who was on … [Read more...]
