A Way of Life

Elizabeth and I have been host to numerous guests the past couple weeks since baby Grace was born. It’s been tough keeping our home tidy at times even though we both try and keep up. Just a few days ago, I wondered as I was clearing the kitchen table “How did everything get so dirty […]
