I don’t, He does
My daughter is struggling again with health. We thought the Celiac disease would be the answer – and of course it is AN answer, but not the only one. Something else is going on too and I have no idea what it is. Her… Continue Reading “I don’t, He does”
A Barn?!
“Jesus was born in a barn?!! He slept in a food bowl for animals?!” My daughter’s utter astonishment reminded me of how easily we gloss over the Christmas story, the Christmas songs, the reality of how Jesus was born. I can practically quote the… Continue Reading “A Barn?!”
