Facelessbook and Instagorgeous use filters for reality

My grandson, Avery, loves arts and crafts time. He comes by it naturally, not from me, but from his mother.

My parents instilled this passion in me from an early age. We often hosted visiting missionaries and I would listen to their stories of God working in their lives andContinue reading “Utterly Amazed”
