My favorite Rose personality trait: She doesn't let other people's opinions bother or affect her. Her sweetness and kindness and her love of babies.

She buys too many? Ha! See above comment! Nothing.

The one thing you might not know about her: Her laugh is infectious and unique. It was one of the things I missed the most about her when she left for college.

The one thing she wants to do that she hasn't done yet: Africa.


Esther
Sara Groves

I have a picture of Esther and David
She is a young bride and he is a soldier
They didn't know then that David was dying
They wouldn't have children
Alone with a life time, Africa called
She went for the first time, it grew in her heart
All of the children, all of those children

Now Esther has 2.4 million children
She writes us and asks us to pray for them all
She's compelled, she's compelled by what she's seen
And she tells us, she tells us do anything you can
To help, oh please help, there's so much to do
And I'm just Esther

She visits her homeland, she fights with her words
She comes to the courts of the kings of the earth
Who don't understand their inherited power
To answer her question
