June 2011 Legacy Retreat Toddler Group
Inheritance of Hope will be celebrating its 5th birthday next Monday, May 21st!

I found 26 cents on my 7.5 mile training run today. (I always stop to pick up money while I’m running – and most of the time it’s a penny!) I saw the quarter first and then about a 100 yards further, I saw the penny. As I ran a bit further, with the quarter and penny between my thumb and middle finger, I thought about the 26 miles I’ll be running on October 10th for children and their families… Read the rest of this entry »
