Capris: To Wear or Not to Wear & How to Wear
Spring has sprung a month early around here. Just last weekend I gathered our kiddos' summer clothes out of the attic because at 80 degrees they can not wear long sleeve shirts and jeans.

It sighs and sometimes ...

It’s More About What They See
Little Man was asked by an adult how his week had been. Another question concerned how he was doing learning the Old Testament books of the Bible. Little Man explained that he can quote from Genesis to Lamentations right now. We have the second half left to learn. Then, he was asked if he has any Bible verses to ...
