We were serving together on a life task force and, during lunch break, she confided, “I raised them to be chaste … I want them to wait for marriage.

Praying for the New School Year

In many places, this week was the first week back to school. My Facebook news feed was full of “first day of school pictures” complete with new clothes, new backpacks, and the classic half excited/half nervous first day of school smile.
