I love spending time with my grandchildren Andi (5), James (8) and Luci (3). Not only is it great fun, but every experience is a learning experience. This picture is from this past summer. A child’s most formative years are their youngest — from birth to age five. About 90 percent of a child’s brain […]
If I want my kids to know how to pray and get answers to their prayers, it isn’t good enough I tell them they should pray. I need to show them how to pray. I need to teach them about the different kinds of prayer and how to get them answered. Here is a short […]
