It reinforced what I’d been talking about the other day about how ready children are to praise God and how we can learn from them. Another one I saw recently was from a young woman who … Continue reading →

Roving counselors pick up the slack when there are things that need to be done, and they also help if two kids are too much for one counselor. *All kids’ names have been changed. Kevin, who … Continue reading →
