I didn’t realize how different girls were from boys until I became a parent of both girls and boys. When it comes to Bible study, their differences definitely surface in what interests them.

Let’s try it again!” As my daughter put herself into position to try another back handspring, her tumbling coach… Continue reading Lessons Learned from Watching My Daughter Tumble

There is something magical about a snowy day. The glistening snowflakes gathering on the tree branches. The soft white blanket of snow covering the grass. Children glued to the windows, their eyes twinkling with eager expectation of the adventures they hope to experience that day.   After the snow finishes falling, and I help bundle our… Continue reading Finding God Faithful in Every Season
