A Gift of Myself, the second book in the Little Douglings series by Carissa Douglas is even more delightful than her first story, I Go to Jesus, which focused on a child’s intimate and individual relationship with Jesus while still being part of a family.

Our parish celebrated its hundredth anniversary last Sunday. It was a big to-do.
