Stay At Home Mom Thoughts

37 Teens Die in One School

Teen w/a Tude? Here’s help…
If you read my post yesterday you may have thought, "Well, she must have the world's best daughter!" Actually, no, but she does have the advantage of the Holy Spirit to guide her...however, sometimes the Holy Spirit cannot guide teens because parents are wimps! (Me included!)
