I saw this short video several weeks back & I’ve had a hard time getting it out of my brain. It brought back a question that I’ve been wrestling with for a while – “Are our orphan care strategies too reactive?” We spend tons of energy & resources on orphan care proper (and rightly we do) [...]

You think I would have learned by now that with the proper incentive my son will try just about anything…..go ahead and submit my name for dad of the year. You might be asking – why did he have that cricket anyway? Well, he & Caroline caught a couple of small frogs (toads?) in our [...]
