We excuse ourselves with a simple “I don’t know”, while living with our constant criticisms in...

Having ten children and quite a few foster children, there were times when the money for our family seemed like it should have been on the endangered species list. But by working hard and budgeting carefully, we always got by. But one day, I had some significant concerns. I was working at my office during my lunch break at the college when I received a call. “Hello, is this Daris?” the man on the other end asked. “It is,” I replied. “Well, your truck is ready,” he said. “You can pick it up right after work if you want.” My mind and adrenalin k...
