The Dig for Kids! {Giveaway}

The truth is, every parent should be (and can be) a pastor to his or her children. The Dig has been my personal desire and attempt to teach our children the Bible from an early age. These words come from the author of a brand new Bible study for families called The...

These 2012 London Olympics are making me all nostalgic. I’ve been to London three times and I’m having such fun teaching the boys all about that amazing city! My first trip was after my senior year of high school. The second was during my freshman year of...
