Living Faithfully can be Intimidating

We moved to the city of St. Louis in order to change the world through public education. Every one of my preconceived notions about that decision eventually fell flat. I cannot express how wrong I was about so much in my life at the time. We did find a good church, however, and we madeContinue reading “Living Faithfully can be Intimidating”

The Water Bottle Story
