We spent time in Engikaret with Maasai, went out to visit some HIV widows and children in Arusha, been working on Faces 4 Hope information and attended several parties for Hannah’s 4th B’day, along with a trip…
I was asked to submit my top five quotes today for a project on parenting, coaching and life. This list would change most any time depending on when I was asked but these are some good ones. Here they are if you are interested. My Top 5 would all be Bible verses so I gave…
