Season of Miracles
Last night my Mother-in-law, Father-in-law, My Husband and I, as well as our son, went to see the Christmas light show in Cambridge Ohio, at the court.

Freedom Is Not Free
My Son wildly claps his hands and says “Boom.. boom!” and he owhhs… and ahhhs… as we watch the fireworks from the balcony of our one bedroom apartment.

Rebirth
When I look at my son, I see such promise and hope. I understand why Jesus said we should all be like children. My son trusts others completely.
