But as soon as her hubby helped her put the kids to bed, he flew to his computer to play his game. He’s a good man. If she asked him to sit with her, he would. But she could feel the tension. His heart vied for the game. She had become his second ...
I was listening to one of my favorite songs: "I don't need my name in lights, I'm famous in my Father's eyes", when it hit me that I needed to remind all of you, and myself, of this.

Because we want to inspire others. I want to remind you of one thing… take ...
