Christmas: Strange and Foolish

We’re out of the Christian music loop here in New England, but we recently got wireless in the house, and the kids and I have enjoyed listening to KSBJ out of Houston, TX on our computer this season while doing schoolwork.

From out of the backseat, on a quiet ride to church……. Cooper: (soberly) “Mom, I wish Dad was healthy enough to play in the NFL.” Me: (cracking up) “Healthy enough????” Cooper: (incredulous) “Yeah, I wish he never would have hurt his back – then he could play!” So, I guess now we can let you… Read More NFL Dad
