The Art of Room Preparation

Army Jon and I have been working almost every night on getting the room ready for the baby. I’ve been learning how much I have to learn about painting, and Army Jon is hoping the baby waits to show up until we’re done with the job. I hope the baby isn’t too picky. Also – [...]

Teenaged Daniels, Lions and Prayers… oh my.

My Monday musings are full thoughts about Daniel (I’m teaching the book in Sunday School) but mostly of gratitude for brave teenagers who stand out for the gospel in world where Christian conviction is frowned upon. – Here some of the strands that are making up my mental tapestry of young people who are taking a stand.
