They don't know what's at the bottom of that fall, but they trust their shell to protect them. I wonder, what shell protects you? Does your shell of protection provide joy and confidence or fear and isolation?  Meet Our Turtle: Waldo World Turtle Day Stops: Did You Know...   Two we knew; three we didn't. Wolfe Stew Connects  Musings by the Mrs. Bible Verses and Quotes  Inspired by turtles. Activity Suggestions   Care, costumes, reading, crafting, games, habitats, and maps.

Welcome to week 14 of our Proverbs 31 journey! This week we research seeking, working, and write our own interpretations.

Grab your  April calendar  with daily activities, the lamp for your feet (the  Bible ), and let's get going! We're journeying through  the concluding poem of Proverbs  and we're so glad you decided to walk along this road with us! Imagine that as we walk, we're talking about the daily activities.
