Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
When my children were just babies, it was already easy to see one way boys were different than girls; our girls would stare into peoples’ eyes and concentrate on the faces that were in front of them and our boy would look all around a room, taking in everything at once, including the person talking...

Last Sunday my guy and I taught the 5th grade class at church. The lesson was all about the importance of the poetic books of the Bible, and helping the kids understand the differences between the Psalms, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes.
