Alex is 11 years old now and nearing adolescence. Tons of hormones, peer pressure, and temptations. Through all of this, he loves his Heavenly Father. He doesn't say much about it to me, but it is obvious when he prays. He starts every prayer with, "My dear, kind, gracious, dear Heavenly Father". Yes, he does say "dear" twice, every time. Danny and I peek at each other and just smile. He is a very sweet boy.
