Not that I’m playing favorites, but I kind of am, and my favorite little boy is Melton. He’s Jason’s (Carlos’ friend) little brother and he’s the loudest, cutest little boy that I’ve ever seen in my life! He’s in first grade and he’s officially mine.

We just kept tearing and making more hearts. Tonight I got to meet his family, which was wonderful because his...

The cross is the meeting place.  Where the cross comes together is where the meeting place is.  I had never seen the cross in this way before, but it occured to me that there are many views of the cross that we cannot always see.  I once read that we can look at the cross from all different angles but the message will still be the same.  This is one angle that I see the cross.   I see it as meeting a person and having our lives being transformed to be more like Christ's after we meet, like make that person a disciple and become even more of a disciple...
