  1. It sounds like a very full, but wonderfully beautiful kind of week where you are. Are you still subbing at the high school this week?
    It's amazing how much the children's lesson or reading through Samuel's kids Bible can touch my heart, sometimes I think more than him. But it's the simplicity that often makes me think about God's truth and my response to Him.
