Harper 'reading' the Bible to Larkin: "....and Jesus washed the blood out of my sin"...we take no credit for this!

Bailey: "OH! I'd like a beer right now!"
Harper: "yeah, I could really use a beer right now too" ...at a diner in Moab,, Utah...we were all burning up because of the hot desert sun, the car was overheating so I took the kids inside the diner for a "drink." I had iced cold water in mind but apparently they had something else in mind:)
The other day Harper and I were sitting on the front porch eating lunch. All was quiet and we were just enjoying being outside on a beautiful day when she suddenly proclaimed:
"Mom, if Larkin died right now, when she's still a baby, then God would be holding her in His arms. Because God is so strong that He can hold all the babies in the whole world."
