Recognizing the Lord’s Fingerprints
Thursday, March 20th, 2008Recognizing the hand of the Lord in our lives can sometimes be difficult, especially when our lives are busy with school, seminary, church activities, sports, friends and family.

I’m Almost Old Enough to Go to Dances!!!
Thursday, March 20th, 2008I am almost old enough to go to dances. I have been looking forward to going to dances ever since my older sister stared going to dances.
