Gina just recently went for her check up and her vision is getting worse. I'm so sad for her. She has the most amazing eyes and her glasses hide them. :/ It will be so nice when she can get contacts. She struggled in school before we realized her visions was failing her too. (((Amy))) So what has the eye doctor planned for your son’s vision?

Love the thought of my teens reading Desiring God by John Piper. Wish I would have thought of that.
