I did not attend Baylor University, but my first college football game was a Baylor game when RA’s attended.

A lady on our staff sent this video to me in regards to the DMin program.

While I don’t pay that much, or have an Avatar – I probably am insane to attempt to take all of it on while also working a full time job, plus adding children to our family.

Any time we take off our shoes, Adele wants to put them on. Here is a little of our interaction together.
