I’m coming to ‘the good part’ of Amy Carmichael’s biography, when she begins rescuing and “mothering” the temple children.

Her transition, from being traditional missionary [...]
Our daughters are into the American Girl books. One has already bought a doll, and one of them is saving up now to do so.

I saw this meme yesterday, and thought I would contribute. Feel free to play along in the comments or on your own blog. Everybody knows how to copy and paste, right? Aprons – Y/N? If Y, what does your favorite look like? Yes- I’ve been wearing them faithfully for a year now, and they have [...]
