There were some bad moments of tears and time-outs when I would look to the materials as failing, and that was SO NOT IT. We had to slow down and look at some heart issues, for both of us, to work out. When I focused on the heart, things smoothed out and the wonderful materials from HoD again proved to be a perfect fit for us.

Laurie- Andy wanting to get baptised is an amazing testimony to HOD and I am so very happy for you.I look forward to sharing beyond with you in the fall

PLURAL???? Gasp! You know something I don't know? hahahahahaha

Sorry I did a double take when I read that and then I just started laughing. You are too funny.

Jessi- I did indeed say subsequent students. Im not claiming any word of knowledge in that area.

Sam, I appreciate your sense of humor. Thanks, I needed that laugh before I go wake up the multitude of children napping throughout my house and let the chaos ensue!

Oh Sam,

You are such an encourager. It has been a tough year, but I am so thankful that the Lord brought me to HOD before I knew it was going to be hard. Not only did the scheduled instructors guide help me, but INCREDIBLE, SWEET, PRECIOUS women like you bring such JOY to my heart! Thank you for bringing a huge smile to my face
