My wife Michelle did an incredible job this past Sunday, doing something that I can’t do well! She talked about what it’s like being a mother! She has a perspective on parenting that I, as a father, don’t have. “The Lord bless you and keep you;the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;the Lord lift up […]
