Wednesday, November 13, 2019
There is a precious lady that attends one of my jungle churches and she’s always faithful. She never misses church, because she loves it!

The Wayward Blogger
Friday, November 8, 2019
I made it up to 20 posts for this year! I'm a little sad that it isn't more. When I look at my statistics, I see that 2016, when Sophia was born, was my lowest number of posts. And then last year. If I don't have an emergency before the end of the year, I will hopefully add a few more little snap... .. read more..

The Fall of Love
Friday, November 15, 2019
Some might read that title and think love has fallen or that we are making a statement of an impending disaster. Neither can be further from the truth, which is that this fall, or autumn, has been one filled with love. Weddings to be precise. Two of our sons were married within six weeks of R... .. read more..
