Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam
This little man started Sunbeams on Sunday and he totally rocked it. He walked right into the Primary room and went and sat down with his class all before I even knew what was happening! Sometimes watching your kids grow up is pretty amazing. Other times I just want to cry. Verdict is out about …
