He’s My Son
Chubby little fingers find their way into my hand. His (almost) three year old little self pulls me energetically towards the kittens down the hall… “Tome on mommy, let’s go look at the kitties” (except he said his hard c’s and k’s like t’s so you can imagine how comical that was). The fact that…

Steps toward a natural lifestyle

Fatigue, Frustration and Faith

I just got off the phone with my dad. We talked about my brothers, his work, my family and church stuff. We just chatted about anything and everything. So? You talked to your dad on the phone. Whoopie, right? Well, it is a big deal. A miracle of God’s restorative power kind of big deal….
