How to Give Your Children a Missionary Heart
We travel in a 10 mile radius circle every single day. Every once in a while we venture out for a vacation and holiday before we quickly jump back into the safety of our little circle.

How to Measure Satisfaction
I am a list person. While I don't actually write down every list, my head is filled with them. My husband even asks "What is on your list?" because he knows that the list tends to control my day. When the mental list contains several cross-offs, I am satisfied. When I accomplish little, I feel defeated and frustrated. While I think this ...
