Tomorrow afternoon we’ll be having a service to celebrate the life of my grandfather, Bob Mulkey. He lived a long and happy life, serving the Lord in many different ministries throughout the years. He passed away about a week and a half ago, going quickly in the night, at home in his own bed. Each of the […]
This may only be funny to me, but I had to share. Around President’s Day, Carson came home and said he knew who Abraham Lincoln was. Oh, good ol’ reliable public schooling! Thank you for teaching my son about such an important and inspiring historical figure. First I saw the art project, then I asked […]

When I think about that season, those intense weeks between the Haiti earthquake and pulling the proverbial trigger with that large envelope in […]
