I really felt the Lord direct me to that particular age group. I could have selected second grade or another Continue reading

With the Presidential elections here there is so much talk about politics these days. Each person has their own convictions, beliefs, opinions. Some are boisterous with their proclamations and adamant with their views, while others keep them quietly tucked within, only sharing when needed or asked.
