Parents, the Story of Your Life Is Important

It feels like yesterday that I was running errands around town with three littles under foot, singing along to VeggieTales as we drove from place to place. On repeat we heard, “God made you special, and He loves you very much.” As a young mom, I hoped that phrase from those silly songs would imprint […]

The Frog Who Never Became a Prince

Matt Self and other 90’s Giveaways (a la 90’s Alumni Family Camp)

A group gathered out in the Canyon in during April for the 90’s Alumni Family Camp. They told stories until late in the night and, apart from their offspring snoozing in cabins, it was just like old times. A huge scroll hung outside the dinning hall, waiting to be marked on. It said: You Might Be […]
