In an earlier post, I wrote about Eliza’s name. You can read that post here.
I never really officially shared about Evangeline’s name since from the time we got PA until now, our lives have been like a whirl wind. Everything moved so quickly that our heads were spinning. We just sort of threw her name […] Read more…
Here it is!
Some of you have asked me to post my little soliloquy that I spoke in church. We needed to stick to ten minutes, so we had to be brief.
So, here it is. Thank you for your prayers!!!

Happy Father’s Day To My Man
Dearest Mark,
Seventeen years ago you became a father.
We were so young and had so much to learn. I’ll never forget the look in your eyes when the nurse placed our first child, a son, in your arms.
You were overwhelmed with emotion. Tears filled those beautiful blue eyes I had grown to love so […] Read more…
