If you’ve ever taught (or even just heard) a child to pray, you know how sincere and heartfelt their prayers can be. I’ve mentioned before that our youngest daughter (who just turned 5) has a little bit of a speech delay that she is currently receiving therapy for. As a result, the verbal skills we […]
Our 4 year old is scary smart in a lot of ways. For example, she has a lot of questions lately about death (due to the loss of a friend) and is trying to make sense of it all – which is hard for adults, let alone a preschooler! The kinds of questions she’s been

Citrus season is one of my favorite times to live in central Florida. If people spend big bucks to ship packages of fruit, you know it’s gotta be good.
