On a Lighter Note…

Friday, April 20th, 2007

After writing that last entry, I asked Tim, “Do you think that is too depressing? Are all my blogs that depressing?” So, to lift the mood a little, I thought I would list some of the things I thank God for. These are just some of the people and events that I can’t believe God […]

“We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders.”
Psalm 78:4
“Mom, does Jesus sleep?” Caleb posed this question totally out-of-the-blue this evening while playing with his plastic dinosaurs. I so often wonder what goes on inside […]
