Gazing down at the massive Missouri River that coursed through the valleyed South Dakota spring landscape, I suddenly understood why I did not kill a turkey at that location. I heard Donald Devereaux Jarrett’s voice behind me carry quietly in the cooling breeze. “We were meant to come here this afternoon. I don’t understand it…
Today I get to publish a blog I’ve never been allowed to write. Until now… My wife and I were sitting in church one Sunday in 2018 and a man spoke on fostering children. God had been dealing with both of us individually on this subject for several years. It was on that Sunday that…
