A new friend and a new toy…precious gifts!
I want to give you a glimpse of our HOL baby (youngest child) getting his first ever toy…a Build-A-Bear brought from Knoxville.

Amanda’s Heart from Cambodia
I’ve spent the past 4 days in Cambodia and I LOVE it here. The people are so gentle and kind, the children are so tan and beautiful and the trees are so green! But for all its beauty, Cambodia is a place of great darkness and sadness. 98% of the people here do not know Christ. You [...]
