Lucky Dorito

I’ve had this story on my mind this week – I first heard it many years ago when Mr. Lucky and I were attending a marriage enrichment weekend, as part of a Family Life group. Jenny was a bright-eyed, pretty five-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery [...]
