April Showers Bring May Flowers!

Our co-op project in the toddler class. ;-) I brought some leftovers home for Livi to do. I couldn't believe I spent 2 and a half hours prepping and cutting the night before and 30 min. the next morning (because we wanted more colors of tissue paper) for just 7 toddlers. I can't figure out how it took that much time! Such a cute project!

A Very Awesome Marriage Ministry

Mendourmarriage.com
David and Amanda Taylor

"We are saying that having a strong fruitful marriage where joy, peace and love are all intimate components is less about love and more about knowledge. Marriages are destroyed because of a lack of knowledge. No one teaches marriage...no one teaches you how to love properly. We believe that it is the knowledge of how to be married that holds the foundation of the family together. We believe that if we can heal marriages...we can literally change the world..."

Quotes from Charles Spurgeon
