At approximately 2:49 pm yesterday afternoon, the Wilson family ushered in the official season
of “WHY?”. It happened just that automatically, like lighting a fuse of inquisition!

So, a day or two after my last post I was finding some much needed time with God. It almost didn’t happen because as usual, it was opposed. The needs of the children are hard for me to defer. Joey wanted me to do something for him and I just had to tell him [...]
