I had the privilege of hearing my two oldest sing yesterday at the Ridgecrest Youth Conference. After living through a horrific tragedy and watching God make beautiful things from dust, this song is my grateful anthem. You think you’re raising your kids but they’re really raising you. (Thank you to my mother-in-law for that very [...]

It was a magical night….. perfect weather, perfect spring night and just the right amount of banjo music and pulled pork BBQ! There are so many things to love about a square dance but one of the most appealing is that it’s just a big bundle of fun for the whole family, regardless of age [...]
