“Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God. Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.” Luke 12: 6-7 You and I are both worth more than many sparrows. [...]
“Me first, Me FIRST!” Slamming his little shoes up the plastic playset half out of breath, Jake yelled to Tricia. Too late Tricia was already on her way down the curved slide. Down and about to run to the steps carefully holding the railing as she would go back to the top again. Over and over [...]
