With the approach of Christmas and 6 boys all cooped up in the house we have some very interesting dynamics.

Soulmate? – Praying Parent Study Chapter 25
Ok, so I’ll admit I’m not always sure what people mean by this, but I believe that God does have one person in mind for each of us and being a praying parent I am hoping to spare my sons from some of the misguided decisions that their peers will make. I know it’s not foolproof, but I also know…
