It is so hard to trust our children to always make wise moral choices every time, however, we can trust in the Good Lord. These are His children. He loves them more than we know how. He knows each and every child bette...

"Hey I think that is me!" "Hey! someone,over here!" " Wow,I am really cute!" Ok, my friend Meredith wrote on her blog "I have proof". She is referring to someone reading her blog.
