Weekly Song - Firm Foundation
This has become a true favorite of mine. It started when I heard Nate and some friends playing/singing it at our house. Then, my guys did it at a worship night with their class from our co-op. It is just such a great song! Enjoy!

A few of my Favorite things
I love Dr. Pepper; I recently tried the “zero” version and feel like it tastes just like the original which makes me very happy! I love my new shower curtain. I have a think for shower curtains and tablecloths. They are fun, add character and whimsy and are easy to change!
