  1. Hi Team!
    Thanks for taking the time to write - your entries have been insightful and given us 'food for thought' during the busyness of our lives. Looks like everyone's been busy in their own way - uh...except for one person - but I won't mention any names!!! ;)
    Continuing to pray for you all.
    God Bless

How are the language studies going and the research for chicken business?How are Lucy, Jennifer and Elizabeth enjoying their studies? Would really enjoy reading more.
