It states: “For with God all things are possible.” (Mark 10:27) Do we really believe that? Me – sitting on this porch, writing, is a validation...

And no matter what the child’s age, he or she is learning to write. “Long before a child can pick up a pencil, the stage is set for the development of writing,” says Jane Kostelc, early childhood specialist at Parents as Teachers National Center in St. Louis, MO. “When your baby uses her index finger and thumb to grasp objects it is called the pincer grasp,” Kostelc a...
