I have a one year old girl and a three year old boy. I wrestle with keeping our shopping list for our children to only a couple items each. Our kids have more stuff than they really need and what they need more of is time with dad and mom. If you tell yourself that you have to buy more stuff,

Several years ago as I was coming home from Wesley Seminary at the end of four very long weeks, I felt a bubbling of energy within myself. I felt like I was waiting on a precipice about to jump into a new life. Energy was being sparked within me. I was ready to follow Christ wherever I was led
