My four-year-old and I hid in the laundry room. Then he proclaimed the gospel.

It’s summertime – a great time to listen.

What my altar looks like today, how Lent Madness at home turned out, and some summer reading plans.

I may not be a parent, but I sure am praying for you who are – especially as you have hard talks with teens.
