So I completely failed at my goal of writing on this every week but I am okay with that. Life and school have been crazy and busy with all my brother's senior stuff and all my homework I really didn't have time to write anything last month. A couple of quarters ago I received a printout entitled "Father's Love Letter" from a member in my Bible study, so I am going to share because it's pretty cool. Hope you enjoy!
