"That's what we should have done. *pause* Now I can take over the world."
It was quiet . . . too quiet. (Fellow parents know what I mean.) And then I find Tucker, in the kitchen, brushing his hair with the dish scrubber brush. Now he's wet (but well-combed!). Awesome. -

Lord, thank you for giving me a child with such an infectious laugh. I am so blessed to be his Mama. -
Perceptions
One of the guys that used to be very involved in the college-age ministry of the church I went to during college is now working on a new church plant with his wife. Because it can be very hard to make a living as a pastor who's church planting (or, let's be fair, as a pastor period), he's been waiting tables at Chili's to make ends meet. He's ( Read more... ) -
