I’ve discovered a web site that I would like to share with you.  It’s called Girls ‘n Grace.  It’s a site where girls and their mothers can connect and explore God’s grace.  There are fun games and quizs, dolls and books and even matching dresses for the girls and their dolls.  It makes me wish I still had a […]
