Sitting In…

Grandpa’s

A Prayer …Peace
My Heavenly Gracious Father, I Thank You for those you have put into my family! Looking over the photos of my Bishop family has been a wonderful time consuming labor of love. It’s funny how I can see now as an adult the various family members and how they look so similar to each other…
