A Young Wife’s Tale

Sunday we visited a wonderful church. The people were so kind and friendly. It was so different from the other churches we’ve visited in South Jersey. Many churches here have hard wooden pews. This church has padded chairs which is a big plus for David’s back pain. The church is about five minutes from our [...]

Brother #3 turns 18 today! As a 4 year old, Brother #3 could pick me up. I was the same size then as I am now. He’s a tough guy. A few summers I watched him a couple of hours a week while my mother was working. I’d read the Chronicles of Narnia to him [...]
