My daughter lost 2 teeth in a week. This was a big deal around our house. She is six and had not lost any teeth yet. She had seen her big brother lose several teeth and was waiting patiently for her turn. Finally, she had one loose tooth! She bit into a corn dog, not
While I was driving a few weeks ago, I was overwhelmed with gratitude and praise to the Lord. No, I had not won the lottery … although that would have been nice ;) I had not even been the recipient of really great news. Earlier that morning, I was at a medical appointment. A procedure

Immediately after we encountered the unimaginable of our infant son growing ill and being hospitalized, we were slammed with a mountain of medical bills. To top it
It was dark, cold, and wet, but the soccer game was still on. I had hoped they would cancel it, but regardless, I was out there with my coat and gloves to support my daughter under the glare of the massive field lights. She was fierce on the field, running fast and blocking passes. The
