  • A Tale of Redemption — Part 1: The Harrowing

    This has been an interesting (and difficult) year on many levels. I’ll catch you up to speed (prepare for a whirlwind in long form).

  • It’s over.  My Dad gave us the news this morning during family worship.  The girl we were planning to adopt has decided she doesn’t want to be adopted.  My siblings and myself were very shocked and deeply hurt.  I’d like to ask for your prayer for my family, that this hurt will heal.  Also for…
