Because November is National Adoption Month, I’d be remiss in not blogging about it or at least giving an update on Ty (and our current adoption process). On paper, Ty’s almost 5. There’s one camp that see him as 5 and expect him to act that way. They lay out how he should be acting based...
Last Minute
I know this is REALLY last minute and a long shot, but our Bible Study group is collecting 2-alarm watches for Mission to the World’s AIDS Care and Treatment (ACT) Project.
