I was adopted. After being in foster care for awhile, my foster parents decided to adopt my sister and I. At the young age of three, I had no understanding, much less any thoughts, towards the complexities of the legal system, foster care, or the adoption process.

Anyone need some peace tonight? Peace is something Jesus brings us, as He is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). His peace has no end (Isaiah 9:7). I’m staring at the word peace on our Christmas tree and thinking about the peace I need from the Lord in a few things (I can think of…

What’s the best Christmas present you ever received? My favorites were the two G.I. Joe tanks and Star Wars Millennium Falcon I received in the same year! What’s the worst Christmas present you ever received? My worst was a combination of a $100 savings bond and a boy Cabbage Patch doll…really? For one, boys don’t…
