Lavish with Beauty

“God is lavish with beauty.” Dr. Edie Wadsworth When we look at nature, we see that God was generous with the amount of beauty He put in the world for us.

A Rainy Day

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s raining inside of my train car. It’s not supposed to be raining in here, but there is a steady drip-drip.
