I hate having to tell them not to talk to any adults who are strangers, to accept anything from anyone, to not try to help any adults, to teach about sin.

I love my family & Marsh's family

I hate being so far away from them all.

I love knowing that Jesus is always, always there for me...
I love the thought of heaven...

summer dreamin

I LOVE SUMMER!

The beach... crashing of waves, swirling of bubbles around my feet, childrens giggles, screams, fun and laughter, catching that wave, the look of excitement in their eyes looking to me, to make sure Ive seen.... the warm sun on my back... the sand cleaning my toe nails... red and yellow flags, blue everywhere... God knew when he made blue.
