We were so blessed to go to a couple's home this summer, who are in their next stage of life. Their kids are out of the house, and they are eagerly awaiting grandbabies. They loved on us, and made us feel pretty darn special. I thought it was "all about the kids," until the Mama … Continue reading You’re Doing Great.

The Local Lie
Is it better to give locally than globally? Here. There. Here- access to free education, and enforced. There- in many cases, girls cannot go to school when they begin menstruation.

When five or six subjects are done in less than two hours, it guarantees that there's enough time for fun, extra learning, and life skills. So we got into Easter. Hands, feet and noses deep.
