Treasure in Earthen Vessels
A journey down to my teenage years. It is an appreciation of the very sensitive years that build the foundation for the future. It is also an encouragement for teenagers to be pace setters and not succumb to the pressures that entice them.
This handsome lad #cousin of mine awed me on Friday. He is growing with some very nice manners lacking in a few men out there. He is a very intelligent four year old who stood up for me when his mum (my aunt) was trying to bully me into giving her some of my food. She... Continue Reading →
