Here’s a great video for all you family guys out there. I wouldn’t trade my family for anything and thank God each and every day for them.

Most days, we get some pretty good traffic in our quiet neighborhood:

We’ve lived here for over a year now, but I still love watching the sheep wander around the roads. It is amazing to see how timid these creatures are (and really, really stupid), but how well they know the voice of their shepherd. There [...]
