Drama drama
Well life goes on … Lord willing, I will make live the posts I have had to hold back until the foster kids are a part of our family officially. Until then … just a few shadows running around. A life on hold. These little foster kids have some other issues that need to […]
Gemstones from Jesus
I got in a conversation with a “christian” that was witness to a preaching phenomena where, as the pastor was speaking, gems fell to the ground! He used some obscure verses to show that it was a “real sign” of the presence of God. I was in shock, my skepticism was in high mode and […]
Submerged VBS 2016
