Snakes In The Playground

Dear Fathers, I know we look forward to walking our little girl down the aisle one day. I also know that many of us do not want that to happen until she is like 40. I believe that all of us want to do that, not only with a smile on our face but one…

Dear Son: I Pray I Lead You Right
