Wednesday’s Child: Quintin

May 15, 2019

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family.

A mini-meltdown and a prayer request || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from February 2009.

May 9, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from February 2009. I am having a hard night tonight. Our little guy in Haiti, Keanan, is in the hospital. He has a really bad infection in his foot.

Life Lately

May 6, 2019

Karis came to me with an idea for her birthday cake. “Do you have a photo of what you want to do?” I asked. “No. It’s all in my head,” she said. Love her creativity! She totally pulled it off. And yes, matching her dress to the cake was ? intentional. I am gutted by the loss of my friend Rachel today. Rachel Held Evans is the smartest person I've ever met.
