Conviction

While stopped at the gas station yesterday a woman approached me.  She was talking so quickly that at first I thought she was asking directions.  I started asking her some questions about where she needed to go and then I realized she was asking for money for gas.  She kept saying over and over again… Read More Conviction

hookey

Today we played hookey. In all honesty, this morning was tough for us.  Lots of arguing, disobeying, complaining…it was enough to drive even the most patient mother crazy.  During a particularly tense moment, Mommy had to give herself a time out.  During that time out I decided that we needed to take a break from… Read More hookey
