Finding Life in a Cemetery
There is a cemetery near our house and for some reason our kids love to go to the cemetery and jump on the tree stumps.

Jesus Justice
Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen. 24 But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
