There are some battles that we should fight, but this doesn't seem to be one of them.

I'm a little jealous that your camping in the mountains will be in the Rockies while ours will be in the Ozarks. Hope you are and your family have a blast!

That's a great idea Rhodes.  While we were in Florida my girls had some questions about the moon, so we got them to start keeping a moon journal.  Each night they go out and draw a picture of the moon.

It's true, having confidence in our identity in Christ provides us with security. My plan is to write a little bit longer of a post with these 4 because it is such an important issue. By the way, thanks for the encouragement too!
