Mama

Sitting in the cool of the Florida evening, I think about the last four days and my heart is full. I watched my boys laugh, show faces of excitement I haven’t seen before, and hug me for no reason at all expect plain old happiness and love.

Seeds

Last Sunday before entering Holy Week, I felt lead to take a break from our regular curriculum with the boys homeschool, and focus on the Lord.

Shine On

If we could go back in time to the small white church on the corner of 5th and Pine street, then we would hear the little blonde girl yelling with her small finger in the air, “this little light of mine, I’m gonna’ let it shine, this little light of mine, I’m gonna’ let it shine,Continue reading “Shine On”
