Sometimes Parents Get Tired
Tonight I’m tired. After a winter storm system passed through the Southeast last evening and night, God graciously answered a prayer to let the freezing rain turn into regular rain to wash away the ice. I awoke this morning to a set of clear roads in our area. After a good breakfast, David and I left for Atlanta to meet with godly man #45, Nathan Ridgeway. We planned to make the … Read entire article »

My brother-in-law, who graciously agreed to take David hunting, gave me a good overview of what would be required several months in advance. This allowed ample time to mentally and physically prepare for the Junior Hunt weekend. The biggest commitment on David’s part was to work through the online hunting course.

Reflections: Halfway Through This Project
A few Saturdays back, David spent time with godly man #26 which means that we are halfway through this project. So, it’s time for some parental reflection on what this journey has meant.
