Please pray for my brother, Tim. He’s having a very difficult time right now and needs a lot of prayers. For the sake of his privacy, I won’t go into detail. Thanks a bunch.
Last night was a bad one for Bella, I’m still not sure why. She went to bed a little later than usual because we had dinner with some friends. She didn’t seem to mind the lateness of the hour and she’d had fun playing with all...
