Thankful God is always calling kids & grown-ups home
I’ve spent the past two nights reading to my niece from Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing by Sally Lloyd-Jones (with captivating illustrations by Jago).

While the celebrations will differ by culture, a common theme will be national pride, well expressed in each national anthem. United States of [...]
Affordable Healthcare?
