September was a unique month for me. I was able to go back to where I grew up. I connected with some of the kids I went to school with at a reunion. I spent quality time with each of my siblings.

My First Flight

Another summer with the toddlers has closed for the Toddler Whisperer. Since I never had children of my own I get my grandfather fix during the summer months. More firsts were encountered. More lessons learned by this old man. God directly answered one of my emails at the very beginning of the summer. When I… Continue reading Lessons from the Toddler Whisperer
IF…THEN
Solomon climbed on the bronze platform in front of the new temple, the crowning achievement of his young kingdom. The crowd before his was vast. He fell to his knees. The bronze sang a solemn note. Solomon’s hands raised toward heaven. “LORD God of Israel, there is no god like you in heaven or on… Continue reading IF…THEN
