I Have A Friend In Him

My husband is my best friend. Even now, as I go through my day, it is him I think of. When we meet opposition we will often say to one another “May no weapon formed against us prosper”.

Your Brother’s Keeper

One of my husband’s greatest desires when we started our family was that our children be close. What did that mean exactly? Though I was not sure exactly what “he” meant, I knew what it meant to me. I am one of four children. My mother had two boys and two girls. One of myContinue reading “Your Brother’s Keeper”
