I am trying hard to be more like my Jesus. I have lots of improving to do..I know I am far from perfect. My kids and husband are kind enough to remind me of this sometimes too. 🙂 And yes, I remind them as well..so don't feel bad for me. Ever had one of those …

The other morning I was telling my husband about something that happened earlier that week. He immediately quoted John 10:27 to me. That is where this post began... 🙂 John 10:27 (NIV) ~ My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. Our oldest daughter barrel races …
