I’m very focused and intentional about passing on a heritage of faith to my three sweet grandsons. One way I’m doing this is by praying Scripture for them. But, I do not stop at just praying Scripture for them. Most weeks my grandsons spend Friday night at my house on a sleep-over, so on Saturday,

Today I want to share something with you once again, which I originally wrote a year ago and posted to the Legacy Coalition Facebook page, and then add a few more thoughts. Last year I wrote . . . “My three grandsons are young; seven, four and two years old. I love these ages, because

“Simon, Simon.” Jesus said, “Look, Satan has been allowed to have you that he may sift you like wheat.” Christ’s words echoed in Peter’s mind as the cock crowed a third time.

I remember the night my oldest grandchild trusted Christ as Savior. A Sunday evening. Halloween. Mission’s conference at church. One of the components of our mission conferences was the kid sessions. The missionaries who spoke to the adults were asked to take their turn sharing their ministry with the kids. I usually helped with the

I recently received an email from a grandmother who asked me to pray with her because she was estranged from her granddaughter. Her heart was broken, and she was having a very difficult time dealing with the situation–not an uncommon experience for many grandparents today.
