Part of our time in San Diego was spent at beautiful Balboa Park. We’ll go back there for sure! It was so great to see Helen again for the first time since she lived with my parents! And on a whim, I asked my mom to bring her skates so we could take the kids […]

The pastor’s sermons are really convicting, and I love his humility and how hard he attacks the lies of our culture. A few weeks back, we finally were […]
