“I told you that was a bad idea, Mom.” Rebekah shook her head. “No, God told me you would be first before you were born. This is still working out just fine.

I don’t know much about the future, but I do know this.
Holy “What day is it?” My life has gotten extremely crazy lately. Hence the Monday blog post on Wednesday. I don’t know when I’ll finally get another Friday post out. Prayers are appreciated.

A Covenant From God
