I Missed You
Last night at the Haines school spring concert the stage was decorated with colorful paper flowers and green paper grass made by Krystal Lloyd and her family. Krystal is a doer. She also organized the community Easter egg hunt, gathering and stuffing about 5,000 eggs...
The Circle of Love
My daughter said the birth of her second baby was so much easier than the first, which is proof that something Biblical really does remove our memory when it comes to pregnancy, labor, and delivery. But in Juneau's Bartlett hospital on Saturday morning I did not want...
