Contemplating that thought today, I realized that it’s really how we go about everything in our life. Another boy, phew, congratulations! You’ll have your hands full!Continue reading “Surviving vs. Thriving”

Experience the Breadth
My response is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth.
