So we went to the Tennessee Aquarium this weekend. And once again, my six year old son proved he’s smarter than me.
On the way there, he saw a sign for the Aquarium that advertised their penguin exhibit.  Very cool, and he got excited.  He asked me if they had “Macaroni Penguins.”  I tried not to [...]

God Speaks!

I could give you a list of my [...]
