i am actually going to use a sports analogy!?!

so I have not been able to stop thinking about something my brother and his friend, Aaron were talking to me about the other day.

who do kids listen to?

The past two weekends at Oak Leaf, we have had an influx of students serving in the children’s environments. I love this for so many reasons. First of all, the more hands, the better, when serving. But more importantly, “teenagers” are who kids look up to! With boys and girls developing so much sooner in [...]
