Having not grown up in a “Christian” family I often wonder what it’s like and how Jer and I can make sure that our children’s faith is real and not just learned behavior or succumbing to external expectations.

At some point during the drive I heard this song from the Sovereign Grace Ministries Awesome God album for kids that was playing in our CD player and the Lord really used it to minister to my heart and give me peace. So, as we were nearing Mt. Pleasant I went back to this […]
We had a very productive drive time…since we’ve been home from the hospital we’ve been reading the new Heaven for Kids book by Randy Alcorn which is quite providential considering the circumstances we’re living through right now. So, during the drive we talked about whether or not the kids should see Nana’s body. […]
