Rise Up
The alarm startled me awake from a deep sleep. It was somewhere around 1am. “A Tornado warning has been issued for your area, please take cover immediately!” I got up and turned on the TV to see exactly what was happening. For the next two hours I watched as different parts of our community were…

Her Turn
For nearly 17 years,she has faithfully stood by my side, supporting me in every new adventure that the Lord has called us to. Wherever we’ve gone Kristia has never been behind me, but always right beside me, with a “Where you go, I’ll go” mentality. Makenzie, and her siblings for that matter, have followed her…
