I know most of you have moved around the country {or world for that matter!}.  So you know what I mean when I say that sometimes it feels like it takes a long while to connect.  I don’t mean just to meet people. But to just feel connected. Do you know what I mean? Well…

James Dobson {founder of Focus on the Family} once wrote a book, “Parenting Isn’t for Cowards.”  Seriously, he wasn’t kidding, was he?  Whether these treasures come home through adoption, birth, foster children or anything in between, parenting takes oodles of wisdom.  The kind of wisdom that only Almighty God can give.
