I am so thankful that God knows everything (1 John 3:20), especially since I do not.  Psalm 139: 1-3 tells me :  1  O Lord , you have p searched me and known me!   2  You q know when I sit down and when I rise up;   you r discern my thoughts from afar.  3  You search out my path and my lying down   and are acquainted with all my ways.  It is reassuraring to know that he is Omniscient, knows everything. His Eyes run everywhere.  13 From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind; 14 from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth- 15 he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do. . Psalm 33: 13-15 He knows everything about everybody all the time. His knowledge is perfect. He never errs, never changes, never overlooks anything. “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have ...

We adopted our baby girl when she was 1. She was in a Siberian orphanage. We know the orphanage workers did all they could for her. In 2001, our daughter joined our biological son at home. Three years later, we would have another biological son. Our daughter is incredibly smart and even though she is completing high school in May, she will also have completed 7 college classes by May.  She is stubborn and charming. She is a hard worker and friendly. She fills the house with music and laughter. When we think of Russia, we are filled with gratitude. Our daughter is such a joy to us. We are so thankful that Russia trusted us to love her.   She is now 17......   No doubt God has great plans for her. We love our baby girl.

This is a story my daughter wrote, inspired by the creatures that really live in the woods by our backyard.  Enjoy! Shadowlight Woods hasn’t always been as peaceful as it is now. Once, there was such tension between all the creatures of the Wood—the deer, the cats, the birds, the raccoons, the foxes, the possums, and the squirrels—that it could only be described as a “cold war”, for fighting was forbidden by the treaty. Every animal was wary, if not afraid, of one another. But before we begin this tale, I shall introduce you to the creatures of Shadowlight. First, there are the deer. They reside in a herd of about twelve, with four bucks and eight doe. The deer are a timid species, tending to flee rather than face a confrontation. They care for each other and never leave one of their own behind. Next are the cats. The cats, while not as sly as the foxes, have an air of royalty about them and are truly clever creatures. They number about six, G.W being their leader, but th...
