“My heart is softening” – My wife’s growth

During family scripture study this year we have been discussing the Old Testament.  If your family is anything like mine we have historically focused less on these books in the Bible.  My wife has been doing a great job in helping the children stay consistent in their studies, and we’ve had some discussions outside the … Continue reading “My heart is softening” – My wife’s growth

Man versus Baby – You’re Not Broken – Chapter 4
