RESURRECTION TODAY

Jan Bailey with contributions from Nancy Christenson, Ed Zerylnick, Pastor Tim Rauk, Carol Fiedler

During the time of my divorce, I was living in an apartment with a three-month-old child, who was sick a lot. He was up every three hours. Right on schedule. So I was always lacking sleep.

My son wore a pink snowsuit for months because we didn't have anything else.
