On Saturday, Bobby and I put Carson on an airplane and he flew off by himself to Washington, DC. Five months ago, when his teacher nominated him to go to the Junior National Young Leaders Conference, I had some serious doubt… Continue

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
