As I sit here tonight in my bedroom of our cosy two bedroom apartment my husband is in the lounge (living room) with his friends having a bible study. I am not sure how much studying is going on with the amount of animated accents and laughter that is filling the house, but one thing I know for sure is our life is very blessed.
