“Home is a haven from which we rise rested to launch out into the world with God’s blessing, and it is the place we run back to so as to recover after a good day’s work.

It is the place where memories are made and futures are formed. It is the place where imaginations are sparked and lifelong memories and relationships are solidified…”

— Daniel Grothe
