My friend’s cellphone was stolen recently. The thief was not satisfied with gaining a new phone, he also took it upon himself to send me an email with an outrageous proposition. The good thing is that even though I was unaware that my friend’s phone had been stolen, I knew immediately that [...]

I woke up this morning to my son bringing me his toddler Bible. He said he wanted to read me something. When he opened it up he said “Jesus died on the cross…and rose again.” And looked at me and smiled. It was the cutest, most precious thing I have ever seen.
Well, onto [...]

I’ve always wanted to be a daddy’s girl, you know the untouchable kind dressed in ruffles whose daddy dotes on them, gives them whatever their heart even has an inkling to ask for, parades them around, showing them off and making them feel like royalty? In my case, it just never quite [...]
